The song "Wow" by Wizkid is a love song with a clear reference to admiration for a lady's physique. The lyrics are in Pidgin, a Nigerian language that can be understood by most West Africans. The first verse seems to be about spotting a girl with a well-endowed backside, and the singer wants to try his luck with her. The chorus further reiterates the singer's desire to have the lady all to himself, even though she might have other men vying for her attention. The second verse explores the singer's swagger, his lifestyle, and confidence in his abilities. He boasts about being a unique and fashionable man who is confident in his sense of style. However, he attests that this confidence comes from the woman he's interested in, who seems to calm him down and make everything just right. The rest of the song is an expression of lustful admiration for the lady.
The theme of the song is a typical one in love songs- the attraction to someone because of their physical qualities. Nevertheless, the use of Pidgin and slang phrases like 'the bumbum,' which translate to 'the backside,' and 'try my luck,' which means hitting on someone in a club or party makes it relatable to the Nigerian audience. The song might not be groundbreaking, but it has catchphrases that can be used in everyday conversations, cementing its popularity amongst Nigerians. It's a groovy tune that borrows heavily from AfroBeat with a hip-hop twist, creating a memorable listening experience.
