Simi returns with “Day By Day,” an uplifting duet featuring Kizz Daniel, produced by Niphkeys and Lauren Andersen and released through Studio Brat under exclusive license to AWAL Recordings. She enlists Kizz Daniel’s smooth vocals to complement her own, weaving verses that celebrate persistence and love’s small victories. Breathing fresh life into Afropop rhythms, the two-minute track layers buoyant percussion and melodic guitar licks beneath lyrics that affirm progress “day by day.”
Since rising to prominence with her breakthrough single “Tiff” in the early two thousands, Simi has built a reputation for introspective songwriting and vocal precision. Her debut album, which earned multiple award nominations, showcased her blend of R&B, soul, and Afropop. She founded Studio Brat to support emerging talent and to maintain creative control. Kizz Daniel first gained acclaim with his chart-topping hit “Woju,” leading to a string of successful releases that cemented his status across Africa and beyond. Their collaboration on “Day By Day” builds on both artists’ track records for crafting memorable hooks and radio-ready anthems.
Available on all major streaming platforms, “Day By Day” marks Simi’s full-scale return after a creative hiatus. The single previews her next chapter under Studio Brat, promising more music that balances personal lyricism with accessible melodies. Fans will find this release a testament to her ongoing influence in contemporary Nigerian music and her ability to foster meaningful artistic partnerships.

Lyrics
Day by day, I’m getting better
Day by day, you’re getting closer
Day by day, the light gets brighter
Day by day, I’m getting there
Day by day, my heart is lighter
Day by day, my soul is free
Day by day, the world is sweeter
Day by day, I’m happier
For me and you will kill my, oh
Only make to grow, want to see my sto, my
Shoulders like everybody when things are shaking
I’m stand, allow yourself to grow
For me and you will kill my, oh
Only make to grow, want to see my sto, my
Shoulders like everybody when things are shaking
I’m stand, allow yourself to grow
Day by day, I’m getting stronger
Day by day, my faith is higher
Day by day, the sun shines brighter
Day by day, I’m getting closer
Day by day, my love is deeper
Day by day, my life is better
Day by day, the world is kinder
Day by day, I’m grateful
