Burna Boy premieres “Change Your Mind,” a collaboration with UK rapper Shaboozey, as part of his latest album No Sign Of Weakness. Produced by Bantu alongside Dr. Chaii, Nick Bailey, and Rodaidh McDonald.
The two-minute track pairs smooth Afro‑fusion rhythms with reflective lyricism. Burna Boy opens with a soft guitar loop and restrained percussion while Shaboozey follows with a verse that balances UK grime influences and warm melodic runs. Together they speak to a partner on the brink of walking away, urging a reconsideration of shared history: “Don’t let us end when we still have a chance,” they sing in unison.
Since breaking through with his Grammy‑winning African Giant album, Burna Boy has shaped Afrobeat’s global ascent through dense production and candid storytelling. His follow‑up, Twice as Tall, saw collaborations with Stormzy and Ed Sheeran and secured multiple awards. Shaboozey rose from the UK drill scene to international recognition with hits that blend street narratives and crossover appeal. On “Change Your Mind,” their voices converge to explore vulnerability in a genre often defined by bravado.
The official audio video and the official music video, directed by Meji Alabi, frame both artists in intimate, cinematic settings—empty theaters and dimly lit rooms—that underscore the song’s themes of regret and hope. Released through Spaceship Entertainment Ltd., “Change Your Mind” is available now on all major streaming platforms and video channels. As Burna Boy continues to expand Afrobeat’s reach, this single highlights his ongoing commitment to evolution and collaboration.

Lyrics
[Chorus: Shaboozey & Burna Boy]
When the love runs out and the lights go off
Gonna leave this all behind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I know I broke your heart, left you in the dark
Now you think love is hard to find
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
[Verse 1: Shaboozey]
You’re feeling abandoned
I’ve been out on the road, left you stranded
Painted the perfect picture on a canvas
I know this shit ain’t going how we planned it
You know that there’s thorns in roses, but, baby, we gon’ keep on growin’, ayy
All the things I usually don’t do
I do ’em for you, I do ’em for you
(Ooh) And my heart is never gon’ leave
I’m always gonna be there for you, don’t give up on me
[Chorus: Shaboozey & Burna Boy]
When the love runs out and the lights go off
Gonna leave this all behind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I know I broke your heart, left you in the dark
Now you think love is hard to find
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
[Verse 2: Burna Boy]
My leg’s hurtin’ from walkin’ a thousand miles on my own
So I keep fallin’ down (Fallin’, fallin’), who gon’ love you like me?
I been searchin’ high and low
For the right words to say, tryna find the right song (The right song)
(Ooh) So close to the edge
But do this one favour for me
Don’t give up on me
[Chorus: Shaboozey & Burna Boy, Burna Boy]
When the love runs out and the lights go off
Gonna leave this all behind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I know I broke your heart, left you in the dark
Now you think love is hard to find
I’m hoping I can change your mind (Change your mind)
I’m hoping I can change your mind
[Post-Chorus: Shaboozey]
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
[Outro: Shaboozey]
I’m hoping I can change your mind
I’m hoping I can change your mind
