The song "Anyhow" by Tekno, OG Flimzy, and Selebobo is a high-energy dance track that encourages listeners to let loose and live life without worrying about other people's opinions. The lyrics touch on various topics, from Ghanaian culture to clubbing to relationships. The chorus warns against the consequences of reckless behavior, but the verses celebrate carefree attitudes and pleasure-seeking. The rappers boast about their skills, wealth, and seduction techniques, while the singers compliment their partners' bodies and moves. The bridge features a nostalgic reflection on the artists' rise to fame and an affirmation of their talent and style. The song ends with the producer's tag and a catchy chant that echoes the title.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was released as a single in February 2018, but it was originally recorded in 2015 by Tekno and OG. Another fact is that the music video, directed by David Anthony, portrays the artists and their entourage having fun in various locations, from a private jet to a pool party to a street parade. The video has over 6 million views on YouTube. A third fact is that the beat of the song samples the instrumental of "Gbona" by Burna Boy, a Nigerian Afrobeat artist. A fourth fact is that the song was produced by Mix Monster, who is also known for producing Tekno's hit songs "Pana" and "Diana" and for being part of the MMMG music label. A fifth fact is that the song features ad-libs and phrases in various African languages, such as Yoruba, Igbo, and Twi.
Sixth, the song was performed live by Tekno and OG Flimzy on several occasions, including at The Headies award ceremony in 2018 and during Tekno's European tour in 2019. Seventh, the song has been remixed by other artists, such as DJ Latitude and DJ Young C, who added rap verses in English and Pidgin to the original track. Eighth, the song has been used in dance challenges and compilations on social media platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram. Ninth, the song has been praised for its catchy melody and energetic vibe, but also criticized for its vulgar and repetitive lyrics. Tenth, the song represents a trend in contemporary African pop music that blends various genres, languages, and cultural references to create a global sound that appeals to young audiences.
The chords of the song are not known.
