Burna Boy Drops ‘Sweet Love’ Ahead of Eighth Studio Album, Teases Softer Side
Afrofusion superstar Burna Boy has released a new single, Sweet Love, offering fans a glimpse into his upcoming eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness.
The Grammy-winning artist, known for blending African rhythms with global genres, continues his impressive 2025 run with this soulful track, which follows recent releases Update and Bundle By Bundle. With Sweet Love, Burna swaps his usual defiant energy for a more intimate tone, showcasing a romantic narrative backed by reggae and R&B influences.
Produced by Major Seven – whose credits include work with Future and Rihanna – the track unfolds over a rich, percussive groove layered with warm melodies. At just over three minutes, Sweet Love explores themes of vulnerability and emotional depth, with lyrics hinting at a desire for authentic affection beyond fame or fortune.
The song arrives on the heels of Burna Boy’s historic sold-out concert at the 80,000-capacity Stade de France in April, where he became the first African artist to headline the iconic venue. He also graced the cover of Billboard France, further cementing his global appeal.
With No Sign of Weakness expected to show a more reflective side of the artist, Sweet Love sets the tone for what could be one of Burna Boy’s most personal records yet. The single’s genre-blending style and emotional resonance have already struck a chord with fans, reinforcing his position as one of the most influential voices in modern music.
