Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has returned with a powerful new single, WORSHIP, featuring French-Algerian producer DJ Snake. The track dropped on March 19, 2026, via GIRAN Republic and EMPIRE.
Clocking in at 2 minutes and 43 seconds, WORSHIP blends Asake’s emotive Afrobeats delivery with DJ Snake’s vibrant electronic sound. The result is a song that feels both energetic and deeply reflective.
Lyrically, Asake leans into themes of faith, gratitude, and resilience. He emphasizes the importance of trusting the process and staying grounded through life’s highs and lows.
“In everything you do, just dey thank God… It is work, no be luck.”
The official video matches the song’s spiritual tone. It shows Asake dressed in white on a calm beach, symbolizing purity and personal connection with God.
Interestingly, fans first heard the song during Asake’s orchestral performance at Red Bull Symphonic in Brooklyn in late 2025. That show made him the first African artist to headline the event.
In the days leading up to the release, Asake teased the track on Instagram. One clip, posted during his Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca, showed him praying passionately, reinforcing the song’s message.
Speaking on the collaboration, Asake said:
“Working with DJ Snake allowed us to create a song that feels universal.”
DJ Snake also shared his thoughts:
“We just made something honest, something people can feel everywhere.”
WORSHIP arrives as a teaser for Asake’s upcoming album MONEY. It follows his joint EP REAL, Vol. 1 with Wizkid.
The track made an immediate impact, earning 1.34 million global Spotify streams on its first full day. It also debuted at No. 1 in Nigeria with over 772,000 streams.
Asake continues to dominate, holding the record for the most entries on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart.
