Background and release
D'banj released the single on June 20, 2013, along with a viral video recorded at the Beat99 FM studio in Lagos. While at the aforementioned studio, the Kokomaster announced a dance competition. He asked his fans to record themselves dancing to the song and upload their videos to the Beat 99 FM and NotJustOk websites. The winning price wasn't mention during D'banj's announcement.[4]
Music video
The music video for the single was shot in London and directed by Sesan. It has surpassed 50,000 views on YouTube. Wizkid and the CEO Dancers made cameo appearances in the music video.[5][6] A snippet of the music video was released on September 26, 2013.[7]
Critical reception
Upon its release, the song received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Afro-hits.com said: "Dbanj drops a fresh cut and it is an ok track but I am not bowled over by the track and the only reason that this will get airplay is because D Banj’s name is associated with it. I love D banj but this is not a great track and in fact this is definitely stuff that he needs to avoid-it’s not actually ok and I have changed my mind it is poor and actually it needs to be made to disappear."[8] [9] Onos O of Bellanaija added: "It’s a rave in the forest and D’Banj invited Wizkid and the CEO dancers to be a part of it." [5]
