If you’re single, this song is just as useful as you can also, as a woman, appreciate yourself for being the strong woman you are.
Adekunle Gold – Promise
Promise by Adekunle Gold and Simi a day after their white wedding ceremony with a video based on their marriage; hence, it is a great song that should make it to your Valentine’s playlist to renew your vows to your partner, and if you haven’t made any between each other, today is a great time to do so.

Halleluya is a beautiful song by Johnny Drille and Simi. Are you happy the love you’ve been giving is finally being returned this Valentine? You should be, because it’s what we all wish for, to love and be loved in return. If that’s the case, then this is your celebration song. Add this to your playlist and celebrate the new love and the season too.
Simi – Lovin
Lovin is another Simi song we ladies should send to their man this Valentine’s Day, if you haven’t sent it to him before. If you don’t appreciate what’s yours, another person will appreciate him for you, and this song is a beautiful song to tell your man he looks perfect and you’re proud of his looks because,, guess what? Men like to hear those words too, and it makes a whole lot of difference when these beautiful words are coming from the heart of the woman he doesn’t just consider beautiful, but a woman that is also his. So be like Simi, drop all care in the world, tell him what’s on your mind, and give him love. We all need it after all.
Johnny Drille – Dear Future Wife
Dear Future Wife is another Johnny Drille’s special for all those single men waiting and thinking of the beautiful things they’ll do once they find their one true love. The truth is, today being Valentine’s Day, a lot of people will be thinking of just that, and this song gives you more than the right words to express your thoughts. You can also reverse it to your future husband if you’re a single woman.
Simi – Love Don’t Care
Love Don’t Care is an oldie but goldie love song that I couldn’t keep off this list because it is a song that speaks of one of the confusions of many women who are torn between love and wealth. Well, don’t let that confusion stop you from enjoying love this Valentine’s season, and if you’re not sure, listen to Simi as she sings about what matters. In this song, Simi says love doesn’t care who you are or what you do because, in the end, love, not money, is all you need.
Teni – Case
Case by Teni is definitely on this list, as it is a song that helps you express how far you’ll go for your lover and is highly necessary as today is that day when people are testing the strength of their love. For Teni, it is to slap Agbero, go to Oshodi, and slap the Police for his case, You might be different, but the song applies, so add it and tell us what you’ll do for your partner’s case today.
BONUS TRACK: Mr Eazi – Surrender
And then there’s a bonus track for Mr Eazi’s Surrender. I don’t know how that skipped the list, but you should totally add it because it is one song like most Nigerian songs that places love above wealth, as Banku singer Mr. Eazi sings to his lover Simi while she sings back on how they surrender to each other’s love completely and blind themselves to anything asunder for their love to thrive. I’m sure you’re thinking you really need it, yes, you do, so add it to your playlist now!
