Nigerian music icon Burna Boy has kicked off 2025 with a bang, releasing his highly anticipated single, “Update.” This vibrant track serves as a teaser single for his upcoming eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, set to drop this summer. Produced by P2J, Update seamlessly blends Afrobeats with a sample of Soul II Soul’s 1989 classic Back to Life (However Do You Want Me). The result is a hypnotic and energetic vibe that is quintessentially Burna Boy.
Before releasing the song, Burna Boy sparked widespread speculation about new music by dramatically resetting his social media, clearing his Instagram feed, and changing his profile picture. The accompanying music video, directed by UAX, features dynamic visuals that complement the track’s lively tempo, showcasing Burna Boy’s signature charisma and dance moves reminiscent of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti.
“Update” is a testament to Burna Boy’s ability to evolve while staying true to his roots, blending deep storytelling with infectious beats. With this single, he continues to push the boundaries of Afrobeats, merging it with global influences to create a unique sound that resonates with fans worldwide. As anticipation builds for No Sign of Weakness, Burna aims to make 2025 a defining year in his career.
