The song "Fantasy" by Mayorkun is a catchy Afropop tune with a groovy beat that makes you want to dance. The lyrics are primarily about a man who is expressing his interest in a woman and asking her to be his "fantasy." He emphasizes that he has the financial means to support her desires, and she doesn't need to act like she is not interested ("No Shakara ooo baby, you know need am"). The chorus is a repetition of the request to be the woman's fantasy, with the added lines about needing dollars to fulfill her desires.
The second verse describes a scene where all the "baby girls wan shaku," which refers to the popular African dance move. The song's style predominantly caters to young people who find the kind of upbeat music engaging.
In conclusion, "Fantasy" is a fun song with lyrics that convey the pursuit of love and admiration from the opposite sex. It is a perfect fit for a party playlist and brings life to any gathering.

@MiracleJameson
Other Nigerian musicians should emulate Mayorkun.. See how he brought in Mr olumaintain for the video because of the line he used from his song titled yahoozee.. Very smart and humble move to prevent copyright issues..unlike others who choose to steal old artistes line and give them no credit.
