The song "Duro" by Naeto C is about a man who is interested in a woman and wants to know if she genuinely wants to be with him or is just leading him on with empty promises. He asks the woman if she wants to love him or just tell him stories, and if she wants to hurt and break his heart into pieces or keep him. The man promises to be with the woman forever if she promises to stay committed and not fake her feelings for him. He claims to have money and resources to take care of her and wants to be in a long-lasting and genuine relationship with her.
The lyrics convey how the character feels insecure about the woman's intentions and is looking for concrete promise of lifelong commitment. The repetition of the phrase, "Promise me you go duro duro" reinforces the idea that he is seeking trust and commitment from the woman to build an emotional bond. The song's use of pidgin English makes it relatable to a varied audience and reflects the artist's Nigerian heritage.
