Afro-Pop Kings Mr Eazi and King Promise Release New Single ‘That Way’
Just five months after their blockbuster summer 2025 collaboration “See What We’ve Done,” GRAMMY Award-winning trailblazer Mr Eazi and Afropop sensation King Promise have reunited for “That Way.” The smooth, infectious track reimagines millennial pop nostalgia as a vibrant afrobeats anthem for today.At the heart of “That Way” lies a clever nod to the Backstreet Boys’ 1999 hit “I Want It That Way.” Mr Eazi and King Promise transform the iconic melody through a modern Afropop lens, using nostalgia to forge deeper connections. As the second single from their upcoming joint album See What We’ve Done, the song perfectly captures the effortless synergy between the two artists, built on years of genuine musical camaraderie and friendship.
Produced by GRAMMY-winning hitmakers GuiltyBeatz and JAE5, “That Way” thrives on warmth, subtlety, and raw emotion. King Promise’s silky vocals glide seamlessly alongside Mr Eazi’s laid-back delivery, creating an unassuming yet profound love song. The lyrics celebrate the disorienting joy of falling for someone who reshapes your world, highlighting themes of devotion and irreplaceable connection. Complementing the single is a warm, intimate music video filmed in London. Directed by Charlie Rees and produced by Oculens, the clip amplifies the track’s nostalgic-yet-contemporary vibe, bringing its heartfelt energy to life. See What We’ve Done marks a significant milestone for the West African pop icons. The album channels their shared musical heritage and creative rapport into a cohesive project centered on chemistry, dialogue, and emotional depth.
Following a string of fan-favorite collaborations including, “Dabebi,” “Call Waiting,” “Baby I’m Jealous,” “Oh Yeah,” and last summer’s smash “See What We’ve Done”—the duo’s partnership shines through their intuitive grasp of each other’s talents, a bold vision for the boundless potential of African pop, and a dedication to crafting enduring hits.Rooted in reflection and evolution, the album serves as a meditation on personal growth: how love transforms us, how friendships and relationships deepen over time, and how to embrace joy while preserving substance. With “That Way,” Mr Eazi and King Promise continue to redefine the boundaries of Afrobeats, delivering music that resonates globally.
