Following the critical acclaim of his previous single HIGHSTAR, Nigerian hitmaker 1da Banton returns with a guaranteed smash — the irresistibly infectious PAWON.

Co-produced with the talented Ed Izycs, PAWON is a vibrant, high-energy sonic experience that captures 1da Banton in his most ecstatic and celebratory form yet. The track pulses with electrifying energy, built to get you moving from the first beat.

The title PAWON — loosely translating to “overwhelm” or “dominate” in Yoruba — perfectly mirrors the song’s theme. 1da Banton is completely captivated by the mesmerizing curves, beauty, and allure of a woman, and celebrates her with unfiltered joy over an infectious beat that demands movement.

He delivers his signature flow with effortless charisma and precision, gliding over a rhythm that fuses Afrobeats with his distinct artistic fingerprint. The result is both sophisticated and instantly accessible.

The production is top-tier — crystal-clear, layered, and driven by a powerful rhythm section that amplifies 1da Banton’s dynamic vocal performance. From the opening bars to the final note, PAWON maintains irresistible momentum.

At its core, PAWON is a party anthem — an invitation, a celebration, and a declaration of joy, all wrapped in just over two minutes of excellence.

This release caps off another standout year for 1da Banton, following his acclaimed EP WALK WITH ME, and standout tracks like Woza, HIGHSTAR, and collaborations including So Many Things with Czarny HIFI and One Millie with Ginton. Listen here
