Kwesi Arthur and Stonebwoy’s ‘Radio’ discusses the difficulties of maintaining a long-distance relationship. The song’s opening lyrics, “Biribiara bɛyɛ okay” (everything will be okay), suggests that despite the challenges faced, there is hope and faith that the problems will be overcome. Kwesi Arthur, who appears to be the main narrator in the song, reassures his partner that he will be there for her when she needs him to be, even if it means going out of his way. He acknowledges that he will be missed by her, but encourages her to stay strong and keep their memories close. He suggests that she should “turn on the radio” to hear his voice, implying that their communication via technology is crucial to keep their relationship going. He understands that the wait isn't easy, but he promises to keep working hard for the sake of their relationship.
Stonebwoy’s verse is more about his own struggles and the energy that his partner provides. He claims that she is the source of his energy and that he needs her to feel motivated. Stonebwoy also addresses the need to hustle and make money, but even that comes secondary to his love and loyalty to his partner.
Overall, ‘Radio’ is a song filled with hope, loyalty and the difficulties of long-distance relationships. The lyrics encourage listeners to trust in the strength of their relationships and the power of hope, even when the difficulties of distance are present.
