Dynamite” a 2025 collaboration between Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid and South African singer Tyla, was released on July 25 as part of Tyla’s EP WWP (We Wanna Party).
The track is a sultry, cross-continental Afrobeats anthem built on a bouncy bassline and syncopated drums, blending Nigerian and South African musical influences. Produced by P.Priime, it features smooth vocal interplay between Tyla’s sensual delivery and Wizkid’s signature flow, with lyrics centered on romantic chemistry and attraction, like “Your body bang like dynamite” and “I just wanna back it up on beat.”
The song, initially recorded in 2022, was revisited by Tyla for her EP, becoming a fan-anticipated hit due to its catchy melody and dancefloor appeal, positioning it as a contender for song of the summer.
The music video, released on August 4, 2025, and directed by Nabil Elderkin, amplifies the song’s steamy vibe with cinematic visuals. Set in a luxe Moroccan-inspired apartment and desert ruins, it showcases Tyla and Wizkid’s electric chemistry through sensual choreography and intimate eye-contact moments.
Fans have praised its aesthetic richness and cultural vibrancy, but some critics on X note a lack of conceptual coherence or overly sexualized lyrics.
The track and video have sparked buzz for uniting two African music giants, with Tyla expressing admiration for Wizkid’s influence on African creatives. It’s available on platforms like Spotify and YouTube, driving significant streams and fan engagement.
