Hear Burna Boy’s celebratory new song “Sittin On Top Of The World”
The Afrobeats superstar’s latest single arrives as he circles the globe on an international stadium tour.
Since the release of Love, Damini last July, Burna Boy has largely focused on touring the world and letting the accolades pour in. His busy summer includes a headlining slot at Afro Nation Detroit and a stadium show at New York’s Citi Field. Tonight (June 1), he’s shared his first new single in months, a celebratory jam that finds him reveling in his new life as a global megastar.
Produced by Skead, “Sittin On Top Of The World” centers a sample from Brandy’s 1998 classic “Top Of The World,” featuring Mase. Burna’s departure from his usual Afrobeats production is both a refreshing program change and — like everything else about the track — a flex on those who tried to pigeonhole him as a regional attraction.
