His new track appears on the new FIFA soundtrack and Bantu performed it at the FIFA 21 World Premiere virtual festival alongside the likes of Dua Lipa, Diplo and Lil Mosey. The accompanying music video launched via Wonderland and so far it has received some big support across a range of popular playlists such as New Music USA, New Music Deutschland and New Music Switzerland on Spotify.

‘Leaving’ is set to follow the footsteps of his incredible music collection, which includes tracks such as ‘Jackie Chan’ and ‘Roll With Me’. To date ‘Jackie Chan’ is sitting on over 22,500 Shazams, 5 million streams on Spotify, 1.2 million on Apple Music and almost 2 million views on YouTube. His Jonas Blue collaboration ‘Roll With Me’ features Shungudzo and ZieZie and has over 5 million streams on Spotify, 612k streams on Apple Music and the video is on 1.1 million views.

Bantu has previously reaped major success with his musical ventures. Taking his unique worldly sounds and integrating them into pop productions, his own effortless and impressive discography has seen him collaborate with Dr Chaii for their EP ‘Coming To America Vol. 1’, and ‘Stretch’ featuring Def Jam artist Danileigh, which hit Spotify and Apple playlists and saw the trio make it to the cover for Amazon Music’s ‘Afro Vibes’. Previous records, ‘Just a Little’ featured in the Netflix hit series On My Block, and on Apple’s Breaking Pop and Global Pop playlists, followed by ‘Jackie Chan’, which featured on the FIFA 19 soundtrack and subsequently climbed up the UK Viral Chart at #23, acquiring 22,500 Shazams, 5m+ streams on Spotify, 1.2m+ on Apple Music and 1.7m+ views on YouTube. Bantu then released ‘Roll With Me’, a collaboration with Jonas Blue featuring Shungudzo and ZieZie that has climbed to over 5m+ streams on Spotify and 612k+ on Apple Music. The official music video for ‘Roll With Me’ premiered with UK gatekeepers GRM Daily seeing his monthly listeners skyrocket to 1.16 million.

Aside from his solo work, Bantu has also been prevalent in the wider music scene, including the world of film and TV. As one of his most recent career highlights, Bantu featured on the Grammy-nominated single ‘Familia’ with Nicki Minaj and Anuel Aa, taken from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. He is also behind some of the world’s biggest hits with producer and writing credits that include Jason Derulo’s single ‘Tip Toe’ feat. French Montana, which hit #5 on the UK charts, ‘Whiskey’ by Maroon 5 feat. A$AP Rocky on their new album Red Pill Blues, Latin Grammy nominated ‘Hey Ma’ by J Balvin, Camila Cabello and Pitbull from the Fast+Furious 8 Soundtrachttps://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inboxk, ‘Say My Name’ by Tove Styrke, ‘Getting Over You’ by LAUV, and past cuts with Rita Ora and Chris Brown.

With music and visuals that reflect his multicultural background, Bantu offers a collage of infectious sounds, rhythms, and stories. ‘Leaving’ is a mid-tempo love song that fuses bright electronic club sounds with African rhythms. Speaking exclusively to Wonderland on the release of the video, which features a one-take style edit that is emblazoned with bold colours and performance shots, Bantu explains: “For this video, we wanted to make a one-take style video. Really paint the picture of that moment when your girl’s had enough and say she’s leaving and you’re begging her to stay. Its a fun, colourful, relatable video. The video was directed by myself and my guy James Davis II. James has co-directed all my videos with me including Jackie Chan, that was in FIFA19 and has amassed almost 2 million views

I wrote this song with my friend and frequent collaborator Johnny Yukon (Roddy Rich, Don Toliver, J Balvin, PartyNextDoor). The story for this song was inspired by the idea of losing somebody special. I think sometimes we get complacent and only realize how much somebody means to us when they say they are out. So the whole time in the song I’m like, “Man, I was tripping, my bad, I’ve just been hustling and didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Lyrics

Chorus

She said she leaving
She said why you always actin foolish
Playing all these games ur gonna lose it
If you switch it up then come and find me
Come and find me

She said she leaving
Almost spent a milli on a new whip
Anything you want you know I’ll do it
She said switch it up and come and find me
Come and find me yeah

Verse 1

You know I hate to see you when you cry
But I’ve been making moves I gotta shine
My phone been blowing up they bang my line
But that don’t mean you ain’t been on my mind

I pull up in a GT 265
I put you in Versace new design
Girl why you trippin just give me some time
You asking questions

Girl you know I’m sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Swear you were my only
I never got to tell you

Chorus

She said she leaving
She said why you always actin foolish
Playing all these games ur gonna lose it
If you switch it up then come and find me
Come and find me

She said she leaving
Almost spent a milli on a new whip
Anything you want you know I’ll do it
She said switch it up and come and find me
Come and find me yeah

Verse 2

Don’t you miss my hands all on ur body
Sneaking off at every single party
We was taking trips to Abu Dhabi
Baby how you leaving when you love me yeah

Hope you change ur mind
Need you by my side
Ur my ride or die
Tried to hit ur line
But I got declined

Girl you know I’m sorry
I never meant to hurt you
Swear you were my only
I never got to tell you
