The song "Where" by Tekno is a love song that expresses the singer's desire for a woman he is in love with. Throughout the song, Tekno uses rhythmic and catchy Afrobeat melodies to get the listener dancing and enjoying the music alongside the lyrics. Tekno praises the woman's body, stating that her "body banana sweetie" has stolen his heart. He then goes on to express his desire to have her dance for him, as if she is in his music video, making a reference to other musicians he plans to collaborate with to make more hits.
The chorus repeats the curious question, "Where your mama dey oh?" and other family members, emphasizing that he wants to know where she came from and what her life is like before he professes his love for her. The second verse also mentions how money and math can't solve the mysterious force he feels for her, and that the only way to integrate their love is through dance and music. The song's energy and playful nature make it a catchy, danceable tune that is popular both in Nigeria and internationally.
