Jorja Smith Shares Wizkid's 'Alive' Origin Story

Jorja Smith disclosed in an interview with JAM FM Berlin that her collaboration with Wizkid on the track "Alive" was initially a song by Wizkid before she added her own contributions. She explained that "Alive" is the oldest song on her new album, with producer P2J having already worked on it with Wizkid.

Smith noted that Wizkid's existing verse influenced her own input into the song, which she described as capturing the essence of driving towards someone at the beginning of a new relationship. The music video for "Alive" was filmed in Paris to reflect the song's energy.

P2J, born Richard Isong, is a Nigerian-British producer with a long-standing collaboration with Wizkid, having produced tracks for albums such as "Made in Lagos" and "More Love, Less Ego." Their partnership has established them as a prominent artist-producer duo in the Afrobeats genre.
