Nigerian singer-songwriter Mádé Kuti returns with a powerful new single ‘I Won’t Run Away’.

The song, unveiled on streaming platforms on Friday, is a heartfelt ode to personal growth, resilience, and the courage to confront one’s imperfections.

The track, a soulful blend of Afrobeat and introspective lyricism, serves as a rallying cry for anyone on a journey of self-improvement.

In ‘I Won’t Run Away’, Mádé delves into the struggles of facing one’s flaws while embracing the transformative power of perseverance.

“I was thinking a lot about growth, and uncovering the characteristics that define me,” he said.

“I realised how easy it is for people to be weighed down by their flaws and thought there was nothing more beautiful than a person that could look at themselves objectively and strive to be better not only for their own sake, but for the people around them, their community, and the world at large.

“I Won’t Run Away is about perseverance, seeking the best version of yourself and challenging your flaws head on.”

Made released his debut album ‘Forward’ in 2021.

‘Legacy+,’ Made’s collaborative work with Femi Kuti, his father, was nominated for the Best Global Music Album category at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
