Davido & Omah Lay’s “With You” Dominates 2025: A Record-Breaking Hit Across Africa
In 2025, few songs have captured the hearts of listeners across Africa as powerfully as “With You”, the electrifying collaboration between Afrobeats superstar Davido and the soulful hitmaker Omah Lay. Since its release, the track has evolved from a fan favorite into a full-blown cultural phenomenon, breaking multiple streaming records and solidifying its place as one of the year’s biggest musical successes. The song’s performance across major digital platforms reflects not only its irresistible appeal, but also the immense global influence of the Nigerian music industry.
From the very first week of release, “With You” surged to the top of Nigerian Spotify, quickly earning the title of the most streamed song on Nigerian Spotify in 2025. The track’s replay value—thanks to Davido’s energetic delivery and Omah Lay’s mellow, soul-touching vocals—kept listeners hooked, allowing the song to maintain an unshakeable hold on the charts for months. With thousands of daily streams and consistent user-generated playlist placements, the dominance of “With You” on Spotify became a testament to its wide-ranging appeal among both young and older audiences.
The track also extended its reach beyond audio streaming platforms. On YouTube, where music videos often reflect real-time fan engagement and cultural impact, “With You” once again rose to the top. It quickly became the most streamed song on Nigerian YouTube, outperforming countless releases from both established and emerging artists. Whether through official uploads, fan edits, reaction videos, dance challenges, or visualizers, the song’s presence on YouTube remained unstoppable.
Apple Music Nigeria, one of the country’s most competitive and influential streaming platforms, also felt the impact of the hit collaboration. Despite the constant flood of new releases and stiff competition among leading Afrobeats stars, “With You” secured a solid position as the 5th most streamed song on Nigerian Apple Music in 2025. This milestone further solidified Davido and Omah Lay’s reputations as two of the most bankable artists in contemporary African music.
Interestingly, the song’s success extended well beyond Nigeria’s borders. In Ghana—one of the strongest consumers of Nigerian music—“With You” became a major favorite, earning the crown as the most streamed music video on YouTube Ghana. This cross-border success highlights the collaboration’s deep resonance across West Africa and reinforces the cultural unity fostered through Afrobeats.
The achievements of “With You” in 2025 reflect the power of collaboration between two artists who consistently deliver excellence. Davido brings his signature energy, global fanbase, and hit-making precision, while Omah Lay contributes emotional depth, smooth melodies, and a unique sonic presence. Together, they created a track that transcends trends and delivers timeless musical pleasure.
As the year continues, “With You” remains a shining example of Afrobeats’ dominance and the unstoppable creativity of Nigerian artists. The song’s record-breaking performance across multiple platforms proves that when two talents like Davido and Omah Lay join forces, the result is nothing short of historic.
