Lyrics

Fireboy DML will always give us bangers and this time he teams up with the legendary Lagbaja, to gift listeners Back n Forth an Afrobeat masterpiece that feels both timeless and refreshingly new. Opening with a saxophone solo from Lagbaja, the song instantly hooks you. The warm, smooth sax notes blend with gentle keyboard chords, enticing you to enjoy the rich African sound. With Fireboy’s entrance on the first verse, the track’s groove deepens as drums enter perfectly timed to it each beat embodying a distinct African rhythm. Fireboy’s lyrics dive into his love story, speaking directly to his muse. Instead of the usual push-and-pull implied by “back and forth,” Fireboy redefines it as a call for mutual energy and devotion. Lagbaja’s verse, and his entrance changes the energy of the track with a powerful vocal delivery and his signature masked mystery. The visuals are equally mesmerizing. Dancers are in African-inspired fits channeling Lagbaja’s iconic masked look, while their movements echo traditional African dance styles, tying together the song’s modern Afrobeat with its cultural roots.
