Spotify has named “With You” by Davido and Omah Lay as the most shared Nigerian song of 2025, highlighting the track’s impact across social media, private messaging, and digital communities throughout the year.

According to the platform’s annual Wrapped data for Nigeria, the song spread widely through group chats, stories, and direct messages, serving as a soundtrack for moments of connection. Listeners shared the track not just for its sound, but as a way to communicate emotion, affection, and presence without words.

The collaboration stood out in a year defined by how Nigerians used music to express themselves and stay connected. Sharing music became an extension of conversation, with songs passed around to mark moods, celebrate friendships, and reflect personal experiences. “With You” captured that spirit, blending melody and emotion in a way that resonated across different age groups and social spaces.

Spotify’s data also revealed broader patterns in how Nigerians listened and shared music in 2025. Collaborative listening grew steadily, with more users creating shared playlists and joining real-time listening sessions. Music remained central to daily life, soundtracking commutes, social gatherings, and quiet moments alike.

Behind Davido and Omah Lay’s chart-topping collaboration, other Nigerian songs also saw high levels of sharing activity. Tracks by Rema, Burna Boy, and several emerging artists circulated widely, reflecting a year where both established stars and new voices shaped listening habits.

The recognition adds to a strong year for Nigerian music on global streaming platforms. Afrobeats continued to expand its reach, with Nigerian artists maintaining visibility across international charts while remaining deeply rooted in local audiences.

For Davido and Omah Lay, the achievement underscores the power of collaboration and emotional storytelling. The success of “With You” shows how a song can move beyond streaming numbers to become part of everyday communication, shared between people as a gesture of connection.

As streaming culture evolves, the rise of music sharing points to how listeners are redefining what success looks like. In 2025, the most shared song was not just the most played, but the one people felt compelled to pass on.
