Tems brings back the timeless classic “Love Me JeJe” with her own unique touch. In Nigerian, “Jeje” translates to “softly” or “gentle,” and Tems infuses this essence into the song with heartfelt lyrics and a soulful guitar-driven groove. “If not you, then I don’t wanna know, I don’t want no story. Day and night, it’s unconditional, got me living softly. Love me JeJe, love me tender,” croons Tems, capturing the essence of love and vulnerability.
Penned by Tems herself, “Love Me JeJe” features an interpolation of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit of the same name. The production is handled by the talented duo of Spax and Guiltybeatz, adding depth and richness to the nostalgic track.
While “Love Me JeJe” serves as the first official glimpse into Tems’ upcoming album, “Born in the Wild,” details regarding its release date and tracklist remain undisclosed. Tems teased the album earlier this month with a brief trailer, hinting at what’s to come, possibly including a snippet of the title track.
“Born in the Wild” marks Tems’ return to the spotlight six years after her debut single, “Mr. Rebel,” in 2018. Since then, she has soared to fame with hits like “Damages” in 2020 and “Free Mind” in 2022. Additionally, her collaborations, notably on Wizkid’s “Essence” in 2021 and “Wait for U” with Future and Drake in 2022, have further solidified her status as a rising star in the music industry.
