Overall Meaning

The song "Odo" by Sarkodie features melodic and rhythmically designed verses, hook, and a bridge that all speak towards the theme of love. The artiste opens the song by giving a shoutout to the women in the 90s known for their bad girl trends, and how he wanted someone to do him, but was careful not to lose his money to them. He, however, admonishes a lover to love him genuinely and not be like those women.

In the chorus, he implores his partner to respond to his love, else he would move on to someone else who can reciprocate his love. He emphasizes that no one should despise him because of the love he has for his partner, and if anyone tries to come between them, they will regret their actions.

Sarkodie also acknowledges that love is deep, as he expresses his desire to get married to his lover soon, while charging his haters to cry because all the attempts to separate them will not succeed. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the musician reiterating his love interest's loving response to his love as he acknowledges that their love is strong.
