From the very beginning of their romance to their stunning white wedding in Miami on Sunday, August 10, 2025, Davido has not just told the story of his love for Chioma Adeleke in interviews or on social media; he’s told it through songs.
Over the years, he has released three key songs that directly reference or celebrate her. These songs are not just random love tracks. They form a musical diary of the “Chivido” love story, marking milestones, confronting challenges, and blending personal affection with cultural pride. Each one captures a different chapter of their journey, turning their relationship into one of the most public yet endearing love narratives in Afrobeats history.
Here are the 3 songs Davido has sung for Chioma:
1. Assurance – The public introduction (2018)
If there’s one song that cemented Chioma in the hearts of Davido’s fans, it’s Assurance. Released in 2018, it wasn’t subtle. Davido directly called her name in the now-famous line, “Chioma my lover”, making it clear who had his heart.
The lyrics promised her “lifetime insurance”, a poetic twist that went beyond typical love song promises. In life insurance terms, “assurance” covers events that are guaranteed to happen, which subtly translated into a vow of unconditional, enduring commitment. This made Assurance more than a catchy tune; it was a public pledge.
And Davido didn’t just sing about his love; he showed it. For Chioma’s 23rd birthday, he gifted her a brand-new Porsche reportedly worth N45 million, an act that mirrored the song’s promise and sent social media into a frenzy. To top it off, Chioma starred in the music video herself, blurring the line between music promotion and personal storytelling. The result of Assurance became an instant cultural touchstone, a benchmark for celebrity romance in Nigeria, and the song that launched the “Chivido” brand into pop culture history.
2. 1 Milli – A traditional pledge (2020)
Two years later, Davido returned with 1 Milli, which was not just romantic but rooted in Nigerian tradition. The song’s playful yet meaningful lyrics referenced the bride price, owo ori, with Davido singing, “Tell your mummy I go pay, one million dollar.”
Beyond its catchy rhythm, the song doubled as a musical engagement announcement. It was Davido’s way of saying he was serious about marrying Chioma and doing it the right way, in line with cultural customs.
But 1 Milli was also a rebuttal to doubters. By singing lines like “Dem say we no go last… dem dey jealous our love”, Davido confronted years of gossip, breakup rumours, and public scrutiny head-on. The song stood as both a love letter and a shield, defending their relationship while moving it toward the altar.
3. Ogechi (Remix) – God’s perfect timing (2024)
By the time Ogechi (Remix) arrived in 2024, Davido and Chioma had been through more than most couples could endure, including public breakups, wedding postponements, and the heartbreaking loss of their son.
The title “Ogechi,” an Igbo name meaning “God’s time,” perfectly captured the spirit of their long journey. Released around their traditional wedding in June 2024, the remix included Davido’s heartfelt line, “Na you go be my wife”, leaving no doubt that their union was both intentional and fated.
In the music video, Davido appeared dressed in regal Igbo attire, holding an Akupe hand fan engraved with “001,” a symbolic nod to Chioma’s heritage. It wasn’t just about two people; it was about uniting cultures and honouring tradition.

While these three songs form the official “Chivido” soundtrack, Davido has turned other performances into love notes for Chioma. At their Miami white wedding, he performed With You, transforming it into a personal dedication to Chioma in the moment. His emotional speech, calling her his “love, my peace, my home,” was the spoken-word bridge to a decade-long musical romance.
In conclusion, from the bold declaration of Assurance to the traditional pledge in 1 Milli and the destiny-driven Ogechi (Remix), Davido’s music has chronicled every major stage of his relationship with Chioma. These three songs are more than hits; they’re a love story set to melody, proof that in the world of Afrobeats, sometimes the greatest collaborations happen off-stage and at the altar.
