Omawumi's song Finally is a love song about a man who has been eyeing the singer for a long time and finally approaches her. The lyrics are about the man's efforts to woo her while Omawumi is hesitant and wants to take her time. She tells him to slow down and not rush the way, asking him to be patient with her. She also talks about how he can impress her, saying he can buy her flowers, suya (a Nigerian grilled meat dish) or ice cream.
The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they depict the uncertainty and hesitance that can sometimes come with new relationships. Omawumi is not sure if she wants to commit yet, but the man's persistence is slowly winning her over. The chorus reinforces this, with Omawumi saying that just because she doesn't want to agree right away, it doesn't mean he should stop trying to win her over.
Overall, Finally is a sweet and romantic song that captures the thrill of new love and the excitement of a potential relationship.
