The two artists were recently spotted in London together, with Wiz sharing a snippet of the song on Instagram. “Nothing can tear us apart/ You’ve got a piece of my heart/ Nothing can tear us apart (Nothing in this world)/ You’ve got a piece of my heart (That belongs to you girl),” Faiyaz sings in the chorus.

Wizkid has only been featured on a couple of collaborations this year, from “MMS” with Asake on his third album Lungu Boy to “Work Me Out” with Shenseea on her sophomore album, Never Gets Late Here. The only collaboration Faiyaz was a part of this year was “Should’ve Wore a Bonnet” with 21 Savage on his third album, American Dream.
Both artists, however, have a few common collaborators, from Don Toliver — both were featured on his 2023 album, Love Sick, with Wiz on “Slow Motion” and Faiyaz on “Bus Stop” — to Tems. Both Nigerian artists famously linked up on “Essence,” the sultry Afrobeats-meets-R&B smash that peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to a remix with Justin Bieber, and the R&B crooners came together on “Found” from her 2021 EP If Orange Was a Place, which reached No. 17 on Hot R&B Songs.
Morayo, which is a Yoruba word for “I see joy,” will arrive two years after Wiz dropped his fifth album More Love, Less Ego in 2022, which reached No. 59 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on World Albums.
