Global superstar Burna Boy has joined forces with multiplatinum trailblazer Shaboozey for a collaboration that bridges continents and genres in unexpected ways. Their new single, “Change Your Mind,” is an introspective, genre-bending anthem that finds common ground between country influences and Burna’s unmistakable afrobeat signature.
The song marks the first time the two artists, both proudly rooted in their Nigerian heritage, have come together in the studio, merging their distinct sonic worlds to create something entirely new. On “Change Your Mind,” twangy guitar licks weave through Burna Boy’s warm melodies, while Shaboozey’s country-inflected storytelling brings a confessional rawness to the track.
Lyrically, “Change Your Mind” dives into the fragile, all-too-familiar terrain of a relationship teetering on its last legs. Both artists reflect on the ache of drifting apart while holding onto a flicker of hope for reconciliation, no matter the obstacles standing in the way. It’s a song about what happens when you’ve said your piece, laid your heart on the table, and can only wait and see if love finds its way back.
The collaboration is a testament to Burna Boy’s fearlessness in crossing genre boundaries and Shaboozey’s knack for bending country’s roots into modern, universal stories. Together, they’ve crafted a record that feels fresh yet timeless, intimate yet expansive, a reminder that no matter where you’re from or how you sound, the search for connection is something we all share.
“Change Your Mind” is proof that music’s most powerful moments often happen when artists dare to meet in the middle, and tell the truths we’re sometimes too afraid to say out loud.
