What is the song IDG by Asa ft Wizkid all about?
In the song, the artists teach love and further say they won’t be found in a place where love doesn’t exist. That is the origin of the title of the song “IDG (I don’t go.)”
They listed some of the things that foster love in any country or place as the following:
- To show love to others and go out of your way to help those in need.
- To tolerate and respect other people who are different from you and have different opinions and likes from you.
- The ability to live and let others live rather than criticizing them for their decision.
- The ability to appreciate people’s effort, rather than making them feel worthless
- Trying to seek the good of others and not their downfall.
Lastly, in the song, the artists also advised people to focus on the present rather than trouble themselves about tomorrow or the future which ain’t promised, because it is only God that knows tomorrow. In essence, live for the moment, and let go of your fears and worries of the future.
