Davido is back with a new track called “Stand Strong” featuring The Samples Choir, which is also known as the Sunday Service Choir, which you can listen to right here.
Davido seems to be ready to take home the 2022 Grammy award for Best Gospel Performance/Song.
Yes, I mean it, Angelique Kidjo can’t touch this. This is not a Global Music Performance category song.
Although Davido has cemented his place in the Afrobeats industry, collaborating with The Samples Choir was the last thing anyone expected him to do, yet he did.
Davido’s reputation in North America has expanded as a result of his collaborations with Chris Brown, Bleu, Casanova, Quavo, Sean Kingston, and others. He’s back now with his new hit, which features The Samples Choir.
The singer links up with Kanye West’s Sunday service choir on “Stand Strong,” an inspirational and soul-lifting anthem produced by Phillip Kayode Moses, famously known as Pheelz. The Sample Choir’s in heaven mode and Davido’s church orientation from his family mesh perfectly on the record as they give hope to the hopeless and strength to the weak.
The new single arrives roughly two months after he sold out the O2 Arena. The singer’s new album will be released later this year, and this is the first official single from the album.

Lyrics of Stand Strong Davido ft The Samples Choir
[Intro]
Rii..
[Verse 1]
Baba told me keep your head up, high
Even though your body full of bite bite from all dem canines
Steady moving, am just living life
And so many people in my business, so many chookin eyes
[Pre-Chrous]
My fears are easier to face now, in the front of my haters
Steady chasing my paper
Sipping Martel with no
My steps are guided by Jehovah
And 44 looking over
Dem no fit stop us, I know that
And every show is to shutdown
[Chorus]
Coz I stand Strong, O.B.O no go minus
O.B.O Elemi 9+
Big fish flow like the Ocean ooh
Omo I stand Strong
30BG dey my backup oh
O.B.O Elemi 9+
Can’t deny my devotion, oh
(Interlude)
Coz I stand strong
O.B.O no dey minus
O.B.O Elemi 9+
Can’t deny my devotion
[Verse 2]
Look in my eyes
You see th? money and the fame
Me don’t know what is going on in my life
My life, (what’s going on in my life)
No pleasure comes from pain
No money fall like rain
This thing dey burst my brain
But it’s all lovvvveee
[Pre-Chrous]
My fears are easier to face now, in the front of my haters
Steady chasing my paper
Sipping Martel with no
My steps are guided by Jehovah
And my Mama looking over
Dem no fit stop us, I know that
And every show is to shutdown
[Chorus]
Coz I stand Strong, O.B.O no go minus
