Melody Verse

Kizz Daniel hardly ever puts a foot wrong with his music. As if the Twe Twe song was not popular enough on its own, he went and featured Davido in the remix.

Released in January, a little over a month after the original song, it has amassed over 7 million views on YouTube alone. This achievement is in just under a month since release.

What is the song “Twe Twe” about?

Twe twe is short for twerk.

Kizz Daniel is singing that everything is currently expensive, however given his success and having won a sports bet, he has so much money now he wants to spend it on a girl who is ready to show him a good time twerking.

For his part, Davido is singing about seeing a lady’s big behind that makes him loose concentration, so much so he could end up over spending and going broke to the extent of using a “keke” tricycle instead of his usual Rolls Royce and other luxurious cars.

The song is written in English, Nigeria’s Pidgin English and Yoruba language. Listen to the song on YouTube here.
