In the English verses, the lyrics adopt a universal pop sensibility. Phrases like “You made me feel brand new” and “You made me a believer” craft a narrative of personal transformation through love. This section serves as the song’s catchy, easily memorable hook, designed for audience participation. The structure avoids complex storytelling, opting instead for repetitive, affirming declarations that are ideal for singalongs. The chorus is built for resonance, with simple, powerful statements of “All I want is you.”
The latter part of the lyrics returns to richer Twi proverbs and imagery. Sarkodie employs traditional concepts like “Mogya fra” (blood relation) and references to “Cocoa butter,” invoking sensory and cultural touchpoints. These verses move beyond simple romance, touching on themes of loyalty, protection, and building a legacy together, as suggested in lines about royalty and standing firm. The lyrics conclude with pledges of unwavering support, using the metaphor of a soldier through any weather. This closing reinforces the song’s core promise, making it a contemporary pledge set to a modern beat. The entire composition showcases Sarkodie’s skill in making personal sentiment feel both intimate and grand.
