“EXCITING THINGS COMING ALL 2023 👀,” he posted on Instagram. “I'm grateful to officially announce that I have extended my partnership with @sonymusic @columbiauk & @rcarecords, so we can keep bringing you more TIMELESS moments. We don't stop, Dey for who dey for you.”

Over the weekend, Davido joined the HotSpotATL podcast and shared how “Unavailable” came about.

“Every album I like to have one viral record, and have like a challenge, and I always say everytime I’m in the studio and a producer is like ‘what should we talk about?’ I’m like let’s talk about anything that will make a woman feel good, that’s the money.”
