Music Review: “Knee Down,” by Falz ft Chike

“Knee Down,” is a song by Nigerian rapper, singer, and songwriter, Folarin Falana aka Falz. The song featured sensational Nigerian singer and songwriter, Chike.

The song “Knee Down,” was released a few months ago. It is one of the songs off Falz’s “B.A.H.D,” Album.

“Knee down,” is a pidgin word that translates to “Kneel,” or “Kneel down,” in English.

The song comes in 2 verses taken by Chike and Falz respectively. Chike took the chorus 2 times. I love the song, especially the chorus. Love It!!

The visual features Nollywood actress, Osas Ighodaro. There is a short film for this song. Feel free to scroll down to access the link. Thank you.

What is the song “Knee Down,” by Falz ft Chike all about?    

“Knee Down,” by Falz ft Chike is a love song.

Falz’s verse seems like he was trying to get the forgiveness of a particular lover after offending her. However, the apology was turned down as the lover already moved on to someone else. This however doesn’t go down well with him as he desires to have her back.

Chike on the other hand is head over heels in love with a particular lady who seems not to be returning his love, whereas, there are a lot of ladies who desire to have him. He is not willing to quit loving her even if they offer him a whopping sum of money.

What do you all think?
