Why I Gave Davido My Song "Blow My Mind" - Wurld

It is not news that the art of making art can be a very collaborative process. Some of the best and biggest songs by your favorite artistes were colloborative efforts, and sometimes, the biggest songs of an artiste's career are not even written by the artiste themselves.

One such example here in Nigeria is the song "Blow My Mind" sang and popularized by Afrobeats giant Davido, and American superstar Chris Brown. Upon release "Blow My Mind" went on to be a mega hit but what many don't know is that the song was actually written by another Nigerian artiste named Wurld. Now, during a new interview with 3MusicTV in Ghana, Wurld is opening up about how the collaboration came to be, and how Davido and Chris Brown ended up singing and recording the song he wrote. Here's what Wurld said.

During his interview, Wurld was asked "You did "Blow My Mind" for Davido and Chris Brown. Tell us about how that happened, and how the feeling was to be on that track with two greats" He responded:

WURLD: It wasn’t planned to be honest. I was in Lagos promoting my project, ‘Love Is Contagious’, and I got the call from a guy, producer Shizzi. You know, it was even one of those things I didn’t plan for it because I was gonna use the song myself. I wanted to get some features on the record, but I was promoting a new project, and I didn’t have time.

I didn’t have a use for ‘Blow My Mind’ at that time and Davido and Chris Brown, it’s just a beautiful thing to lend my art with another artiste and at the same time and to see how well the song has done.
