Joeboy Kicks Off 2025 With Enchanting New Single, ‘SMH’

Nigerian artist Joeboy returns with captivating new single SMH.

Produced by the renowned hitmaker and frequent collaborator Tempoe (known for his work on Victony’s Soweto, Joeboy’s Sip (Alcohol), and Ckay’s Love Nwantiti).

Released through his label, Young Legend, in partnership with Warner Music Africa, SMH—short for “Something’s Missing Here”—is a hypnotic blend of Afrobeats with rich Indian and Middle Eastern influences. The 27-year-old artist reflects on a toxic but irresistible love affair in this track.

SMH offers fans a tantalizing preview of what to expect from Joeboy’s upcoming third studio album. Joeboy explains:

“There’s a certain clarity of mind that comes when you realize not all relationships are meant to last forever. Some are just phases with lessons to learn — simple as that. Whatever seems to be missing, no matter how hard you try, is missing for a reason.”
