Background

Wizkid had been very active on social media, sending tweets to generate hype (for more than two years) about his fourth studio album, Made in Lagos. Prior to the release of Smile, Wizkid released a cryptic message on his Instastory praising several artists and producers that worked with him on the album. He wrapped up by posting his birth date, giving fans the impression that would be his album's release date. Instead, he released the song as a celebration of life, dedicating it to his three children.[3][4]
