Burna Boy releases “Sweet Love,” the latest single from his highly anticipated eighth studio album No Sign of Weakness. Dropped on May 1, 2025, under Spaceship, Bad Habit, and Atlantic Records, the track follows Update and Bundle By Bundle, building momentum for the album. Produced by Major Seven, known for his work with Future and Rihanna, “Sweet Love” blends Afrofusion with reggae and R&B, creating a smooth, percussive beat with warm melodies.
The song explores themes of passion, vulnerability, and genuine affection, with Burna Boy delivering a vocal performance that contrasts his usual bold anthems. The production’s reggae elements, paired with Afrobeat’s rhythmic pulse, give the track a universal appeal. Early fan reactions suggest a tender narrative, making “Sweet Love” a standout moment in his discography.
Burna Boy’s 2025 has been marked by major milestones, including his historic sold-out Stade de France show in April, making him the first African artist to headline the venue. His Billboard France cover feature further cements his global influence. As No Sign of Weakness takes shape, “Sweet Love” signals a more introspective side to Burna Boy, blending his cultural heritage with universal emotions. The single is already gaining traction, reinforcing his status as a trailblazer in Afrofusion.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can shield your heart from danger
Want to be more than just a stranger
And if the stars align in my favor
Then every night you and I still go dey here, ahh
[Chorus]
I want to give you love
Sweet, sweet love
I don’t wanna make no mistake
Got to get it right every time, mhm
[Verse 2]
Been on my mind, I seen it not disguise and I feel it not the end Feel my body lifted
Let my mind go drifting
Hold me in your arms tonight
And don’t leave me, ’cause I won’t let go
Hope that at the end of the night
You’re leaving with me, anywhere that you want
[Chorus]
I, I want to give you love (ahh, eh)
Sweet, sweet love
I don’t wanna make no mistake
Got to get it right every time
[Verse 3]
So I play my part
To make sure that we survive it
I’m giving you all my—
My affection, and time, and all my love
Ooh
And I don’t wanna act like I don’t know
Filled like fire, burning in desire
Need you by my side
By my side
[Chorus]
I want to give you love
Sweet, sweet love (Ooh)
I want to give you love (Ooh)
Sweet, sweet love
