Background and composition


According to Seyi Shay, “The whole song was pretty much a freestyle that came from the emotions I was feeling at the time. I just got on the mic and started singing to the beat.”[5]

"Gimme Love" is an Afrobeats-inspired take on R&B and was produced by Sarz. It's sensual without being intense. The lyrics carry passion and urgency.[1]
