Joeboy stays true to his Lover boy roots with a two pack release titled 'Concerning' and 'Adenuga', featuring budding sensation, Qing Madi.
From ‘Baby to Beginning’, ‘Focus’ and ‘Body & Soul’ among others, Joeboy has established himself as a lover boy and has gone on to double down with massive love songs every single year since 2019. ‘Adenuga’ and ‘Concerning’ are songs that give more credence to the Ogun-born persona as he shines a light on the two sides of love.
On ‘Adenuga’, he confidently embraces the positive side of love. In an era where toxic and gangster love is the trend, Joeboy comes through for those that still believe in fairytale love, grand romantic gestures and words of affirmation as he combines effortlessly with Qing Madi in a display of sweet pickup lines and heartfelt harmonies.

On ‘Concerning’, he brings to light the confusion and pain that comes with unrequited love – a pain both men and women alike are familiar with while navigating the treacherous yet rewarding waters of love and relationships.
“I don’t wanna feel like I’m chasing wind when I’m chasing you, you got me feeling so gullible and I’m not liking this attitude” – Concerning spotlights that “scales falling off the eyes” moment when one realizes their love isn’t being unrequited. The battle between ego and emotion comes to play and it’s more often than not nasty. Whatever the case, it’s human nature to want to love and be loved. Everything that transpires on the journey to finding the special one makes the time with them all the more sweeter.
Through the influences of his musically inclined parents and older brother as well as the unique sounds of the Nigerian church,Joeboy absorbed the cocktail of sonics and unwittingly tapped into the musicality surrounding him. At the age of 18, Joeboy started actively working on his music, albeit privately, till he gathered courage to actively put himself out there which was when his cover of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of you caught the attention of Superstar Mr. Eazi and the rest is as they say is, history.
Often referred to as “Young Legend”, Joeboy has amassed over 2 billion carer streams across all credits on major DSPs with songs which have topped charts in over 20 countries globally. Recently, his monster hit song, Alcohol, surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, making him the 17th afrobeats artist to achieve this feat.
