About the Song
“Intro” is the opening track on Nigerian artist Yonda’s debut project, Wild Blue. Released on December 11, 2020, the short 43-second piece sets the stage for the eight-track project and connects Yonda’s story directly to his relationship with Davido and the DMW movement.
Rather than functioning like a conventional full-length song, the record works as a statement of introduction. Davido’s presence immediately establishes the connection between the two artists, while the brief runtime creates a smooth transition into the rest of Wild Blue.
The Sound
“Intro” is built around a compact Afrosounds presentation, with Davido’s voice providing the dominant presence. Its short arrangement is intentional, serving more as an atmospheric opening than a complete verse-and-chorus record.
The track also carries significance beyond its runtime. Yonda had previously contributed songwriting to Davido’s “Intro” from A Good Time, released in 2019, creating a notable connection between the two records.
What the Song Is About
The main purpose of “Intro” is to establish Yonda’s arrival and prepare listeners for Wild Blue. The project followed Yonda’s growing recognition through his work with Davido, including his appearance on “Animashaun” from A Good Time.
The opening therefore carries a sense of recognition and anticipation. Davido’s involvement gives the introduction added context, while the placement at the beginning of the project makes it feel like a doorway into Yonda’s own musical world.
