The song "Love You Tire" by Mayorkun feat. Mr. Eazi is a love song that is a mix of Yoruba, Pidgin, and English. The song is about a man expressing his love for a woman and promises to love her till he is tired. The song starts with Mayorkun introducing himself and Dirty game aiye which means the game of life is not clean. The song highlights that in the game of life, there are people who would take advantage of the naivety of others.
In the second verse, Mayorkun talks about how he is rich and can provide for the woman he loves. He tells her that she does not have to worry because he can take care of her. He expresses his desire to have her body and soul, telling her that he desires her. He uses Yoruba slang "Saya o" to mean to "be vigilant" as she will be dealing with the best guy in the game.
The chorus "Baby I go love you tire" repeats the promise of the artist to love the woman until he is tired. The artist pledges to love her, even if he blows all his money. The song has a laid back beat with a catchy chorus, which adds to the overall feel of the song.
