Songfacts®:

  • This love song was inspired by the love story in the Nigerian movie Half of a Yellow Sun and features in its soundtrack. The film tells the story of two sisters, Olanna and Kainene, during the Biafran war and the effects of the conflicts on their lives and the lives of everyone around them.

    Producers of the film, Yewande Sadiku and Andrea Calderwood, said: "We were excited when D'Banj first sent us his new song 'Bother You,' telling us he had been inspired to write it after seeing Half of a Yellow Sun. It's been a few weeks since we first listened to the song, and we still find ourselves humming to it several times throughout the day."
