"Nobody" is the second single from Nigerian disk jockey DJ Neptune's forthcoming second studio album Greatness II: The Sounds Of Neptune.[1] The song was released as a single on March 5, 2020. It was produced by Magic Sticks and features vocals from Nigerian singers Joeboy and Mr Eazi.[2][3]
Background and composition
According to DJ Neptune, "When Joeboy voiced the hook on Nobody’s beat, I already knew it was hit even before delivering his verse. Immediately I buzzed Mr Eazi up and told him I wanted him on a record and He said sure to send me the beat. Eazi heard the song and didn’t estimate to jump on it and in no time his vocals were in. This is how we created Nobody." "Nobody" is an Afrobeats-inspired take on Hip hop and was produced by Magic Sticks.[4][5]
Music video
An accompanying music video for "Nobody" was released on the same day with the single and was directed by TG Omori. It's a comedic video that pays homage to Michael Jackson's choreography.[6][7]
