"Love Nwantiti" is a song by Nigerian singer and songwriter CKay as the fourth track from his second extended play Ckay The First, released in 2019 by Chocolate City through Warner Music Group distribution company ADA. A remixed version of the song titled "Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah)" and featuring Joeboy and Kuami Eugene became a commercial success in Nigeria,[1] in other African countries, the Middle East and North Africa and in many European club venues and subject of collaborations with many local artists for localised variations. The French version included vocals by French rapper Franglish; the German version is a collaboration with Frizzo.[2]

In 2021 the song charted across Europe, Australia, Latin America, and New Zealand, reaching number one in India, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland, and gained popularity across TikTok.[3] It also charted in the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart and reached number one on the UK Indie Singles Chart. It also debuted at No. 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100[4] and appeared on the Canadian Hot 100.

Although in most countries the main remix by CKay featuring Joeboy and Kuami Eugene was released, another version, the North African Remix with ElGrande Toto became a hit in Germany, Italy, Austria and Denmark.[5] A version by De La Ghetto made a brief appearance in the France, although the main CKay/Joeboy/Kuami Eugene version topped the French Singles chart.
