about

Aye is an African pop, dance, world themed summer track inspired by Tolü Makay‘s Yoruba heritage with traditional Nigerian percussions such as Conga and the Talking drum.

„Aye means life in Yoruba.
A lot of what makes us who we are comes from our childhood. I want this song to celebrate life and the child we forget we were.
We are who we are because of that child. I added my oriki which my grandmother blessed me with. Oriki is a Yoruba “attributive epithets” you’re given.
Who you are called forth to be.
I hope this song brings joy and awakens your inner child.“
-Tolü Makay-

lyrics

LYRICS

When I was ten
When I was ten
I was called for
I was called for

n’When I was led
To seek the truth
I just fought for
What I came for

AYE….

When I was Ten
When I was Ten
I was called for
I was called for

Now that I'm here
Living my truth
I am stronger
So much bolder

AYE…...

You are Called for.
