‘Kante’ is the 10th track off ‘Timeless’, one of the standout tracks from the Grammy-nominated album which was released in March 2023.
The singer said he now looks forward to a new era of new music and new milestones.

Davido established DMW, his music label, in April 2016.
The label has served as home to music talents such as Mayorkun, Peruzzi, and Dremo among others.
In March, Davido rebranded his label to DMW 2.0 and unveiled two new artistes — Morravey and Logos Olori.
Last year, Davido earned his first-ever nomination for the Grammy Awards in three categories, including ‘Best Global Album’ for his latest album, ‘Timeless’.
Others were ‘Best African Performance’ for his song ‘Unavailable’ and ‘Best Global Music Performance’ for his track ‘Feel’.
He also lost the ‘Best Global Music Performance’ to ‘Pashto’ by Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain Featuring Rakesh Chaurasia, and ‘Best Global Album’ to Shakti’s ‘The Moment’.
