There’s something quietly powerful about watching an artist peel back the layers and let us see what anchors them. Burna Boy’s new video for “Love” feels like that kind of moment. It arrives just as he’s riding the energy of his Tonight Show performance, yet the tone is softer, steadier and rooted in the parts of his life that don’t need a spotlight to matter.
“Love” is a song shaped by loyalty. Not the glossy kind that fades when the room empties, but the kind you build with people who show up for you long before the applause begins. Burna Boy uses the track to honour that circle and to remind anyone listening that validation is too fragile a thing to chase. His caution is simple: people can be unpredictable, and not everyone has earned a place in your inner world. Protecting your peace isn’t selfish; it’s survival.

The refrain, “Na who love me I go love”, sits at the core of the song. It becomes less of a lyric and more of a boundary line drawn with quiet clarity. Love should be reciprocal, not performative, and Burna Boy leans into that truth with the kind of ease that comes from experience.
The video extends the sentiment in a way that feels intimate without feeling staged. We see him performing on stage, but we also see him hugging fans, flipping through memories, and letting the past and present sit side by side. Childhood photos with his mother. His parents in their youth. Moments with his siblings. Children singing along with him in scenes that feel both joyful and familiar. It is a portrait of someone choosing depth over spectacle, connection over noise.
