What Don’t Love Me is about

Don’t Love Me is a paradox. Omah Lay asks someone not to love him because he knows the hurt that love has brought before, and the song moves between pushing the person away and wanting them to stay. It is heartbreak written from the inside, with the honesty that has made him one of the most relatable voices in Afrobeats, and the sparse production lets every word land.
