Nexto gives a soothing vocal rendition in this beautiful song, titled 'Pretend'. He tells an unusual love story too.
“Shay the love I dey give you na jazz?” Meaning… I must have cast a spell on you to win your love.
Pretend is a song about emotional roller coasters of vulnerability and insecurity.
Se the love I dey give you na Jazz
Because one day E go clear for your eyes
You go leave me when you see the real me
But until that day
I love you
E sweet for your mouth oh
I love you
E sweet when you talk am
I trust you
I no send if you no dey talk truth
Pretend say your love no be lie
Cuz I don’t know where I would go
Cause you’re my home
Pretend say your love no be lie
Baby you don overstay your welcome
You should run away
Thieving my heart, Ajibole girl
Tori kosi ibomiran ti mo le lo
Real life is the other way
Se o ma bami lo
I love you
E sweet for your mouth oh
I love you
E sweet when you talk am
I trust you
I no send if you no dey talk truth
Pretend say your love no be lie
Se the love I dey give you na Jazz
