Desperados’ collaboration with Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn, titled “Let It Go”, is gaining attention for its catchy rhythm, lively beat and fusion of Afrobeats with Latin-inspired sounds.
The song samples the infectious sound of “Guao Guao” by Venezuelan artiste Micro TDH and Colombian producer Ovy On The Drums, giving it a fresh musical flavour while retaining the energy of Afrobeats.
Beyond the music, the collaboration reflects Desperados’ effort to connect with young people through music, nightlife and social experiences. With its upbeat rhythm and carefree message, the song encourages listeners to take a break from everyday worries and enjoy good moments with friends.
The song opens with the lines: “Looking like a very good day to have some fun, been a long week and you know say life tough.”
The lyrics capture familiar everyday pressures, from Lagos traffic and work demands to personal worries, while offering a simple message of taking time out to relax and have fun.
Another attraction is its blend of Afrobeats and Latin sounds. At a time when some popular music trends are becoming familiar to listeners, the Latin influence gives the track a different feel, while Young Jonn’s delivery maintains its Afrobeats appeal.
Its chorus, “Free all my worries and let it go, pass me the cup and let me feel good,” adds to the song’s appeal, with a repetitive and easy-to-follow hook that listeners can quickly pick up.
The track also captures the excitement of nightlife and spontaneous outings.
Lines such as “Give me the Desperado, make nobody bother me till tomorrow” reflect the mood of people who want to put aside their worries and enjoy themselves.
Young Jonn also brings the social side of entertainment into the song with references to group chats, making plans and finding out who is available to join the fun.
These familiar experiences, from arranging rides to choosing where to spend the evening, reinforce the song’s theme of friendship, shared experiences and unplanned outings.
Desperados said its partnership with Young Jonn goes beyond promoting a song, as it seeks to create memorable experiences that connect with young people through music and culture.
