Nigerian rising star FOLA teams up with Afrobeats heavyweight Kizz Daniel for their captivating new single “Lost,” released on April 25, 2025, via Dangbana Republik and Flyboy I.N.C. Produced by SBthaproducer, the track marks FOLA’s first release of the year and serves as the lead single for his forthcoming project, expected later in 2025.
Following his recent features on Bella Shmurda’s “Dangbana Riddim” and Zlatan’s “Get Better,” “Lost” showcases FOLA’s growing prominence in the street-pop scene while highlighting Kizz Daniel’s enduring influence as a chart-topping artist.
“Lost” is an emotionally charged Afro-fusion anthem that blends street-pop’s raw energy with Afrobeats’ melodic charm, creating a sound that resonates across generations. The song explores themes of heartbreak, self-discovery, and emotional vulnerability, with FOLA’s gritty vocals seamlessly complementing Kizz Daniel’s signature smooth delivery. Lyrics like “Olo mi jo, shanu mi jo, malo damu mi jo, ’cause I’m really lost, I’ve seen it all” capture a sense of longing and disorientation, while lines such as “Kowa comfort mi, le mo body mi, ko yo burden mi ah, I know you got eyes on money mi” delve into mistrust and emotional struggle. The infectious rhythm of the chorus has already sparked viral moments on TikTok, with fans recreating its heartfelt hook.
The production by SBthaproducer is a standout, featuring a blend of rhythmic drums and soulful melodies that amplify the song’s emotional depth. FOLA shared a pre-release listening session with Wizkid, who vibed to the track and gave his stamp of approval, further fueling anticipation for its release. FOLA, who first gained attention with his 2024 hit “Alone” featuring Bhadboi OML and its remix with BNXN, continues to carve a niche as a future titan in Nigerian music with his consistent string of captivating releases.
