Tiwa Savage – Somebody’s Son ft. Brandy
Genius
Sorry, I’m not sorry
Ala ko ri ni bobo yen se
Should I try? Try again?
But now my heart e still dey pain me
[Pre-Chorus]
Okun mi le, O le ko ko
Shobi sho ni me run ni (run ni, run ni, run ni)
Tired of getting it wrong
This won’t be another heartbreak song
[Chorus]
Somebody’s son go find me one day
One day
I don dey wait don’t stay too far away
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day
I don dey wait don’t stay too far away
One day, Yeah yeah yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Somebody, somebody
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day
Somebody, somebody
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day!
[Verse 2: Brandy]
Worried? I’m not worried
No I no look for embrace
Who wan settle for whatever?
And live your life forever displaced
My heart has been through much
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy & Tiwa]
Okun mi le O le ko ko
Shobi sho ni me run ni (run ni, run ni, run ni)
Tired of getting it wrong, and
This won’t be another heartbreak song
[Chorus]
Somebody’s son go find me one day
One day
I don dey wait don’t stay too far away
One day
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day
I don dey wait don’t stay too far away
One day, Yeah yeah yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Somebody, somebody
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day
Somebody somebody
Somebody’s son go love me one day!
[Pre-Chorus]
Weight of the world what if it’s for me to carry?
Shobi sho ni me run ni
Tired of getting it wrong
This won’t be another heartbreak song
[Chorus]
Somebody’s son go find me one day
One day
I don dey wait don’t stay too far away
One day
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day
I don dey wait don’t stay too far away
One day
[Outro]
Somebody, somebody
Somebody’s son go love me one day
One day
Somebody’s son go love me one day!

Genius
What have the artists said about the song?
I think everybody has seen how excited I am about this, because Brandy is my idol, my mentor—I grew up listening to and studying her. Initially when we made a connection, there was another song that she was supposed to do that was more R&B, and literally at the last minute I was like, nah, we need to change it, we need to do Afrobeat—but still have R&B melodies to complement it.
She killed it, even when she sang in my language; it was amazing how, sonically, we blended together.
It’s a female anthem; it’s an amazing concept—’Somebody’s son gonna find me one day.‘
When women sing about love, a lot of times—not all the time—it’s from a bitter standpoint.
But this girl is saying that even though she’s been hurt so many times, she still believes, and someday, she’s still holding out; one day she’s going to find that true love.
