Starring Chinonso Arubayi as the bride and Ebuka Obi-Uchendu as the groom, the song’s video beautifully depicts all the processes involved in an Igbo customary marriage, from the bride dancing in with her friends to her confirming who her groom is amongst the crowd.
Speaking about the song, Timi Dakolo said, “Igbo customary marriage is one I have always found colourful and fascinating. I am glad I finally got to do a song centered around it, and that I was able to make the song and its video very authentic. Having Igbo stars featured in it added so much flavour because they were not just acting a script- the love for their culture was evident and it translated into the video beautifully.”
