Songfacts®:

  • "Forever Be Mine" is a collaboration between Gunna and Wizkid. Recorded sometime in 2024, Gunna brings the Nigerian Afrobeats superstar into his trap world, letting Wizkid showcase his rapping skills rather than his typical melodic singing style.
  • The song is track 10 on The Last Wun, Gunna's sprawling 25-song album, a project heavy with Nigerian guests: Burna Boy also shows up on "Wgft," and Asake on "Satisfaction." What's striking is how Gunna bends expectations. Most listeners assumed that bringing Afrobeats heavyweights aboard meant sunlit rhythms and a touch of Lagos breeze. Instead, he pulls the whole affair toward Atlanta, wrapping Wizkid in a cocoon of trap bass and half-lit atmosphere.
  • Thematically, the track reads like a love letter wrapped in designer labels and shadowy trap beats. Gunna and Wizkid lay down promises of steadfast devotion, turning romance into something you can feel in the bass: loyalty whispered over 808s and luxury-branded gestures.
  • Turbo (a frequent Gunna co-pilot) produced the song with Evergrn, Sim, DOC MAESTRO, and Pi Polish.
  • "Forever Be Mine" debuted at #2 on the Official Nigeria Top 100. It was the highest-charting entry by a non-Nigerian lead artist since Black Sherif's "Kwaku The Traveller" debuted at #1 in 2022.
