Like poetry, good music soothes the soul. More significantly, the theme of desire in a piece of good music goes on to make it nothing short of intriguing. In Idi-Ara, Maneek creatively used his storytelling ability to portray this theme. It is to this effect that he flatters his African Lady to show her how well he loved her at first sight.

In all finesse, the song also portrayed the theme of romance. The sweet talks, commendations and heartwarming comparisons did the trick. Maneek’s intention is to ‘fight for your love like chin chin, chon chon’ (Chinese), he shows all his commitment to his loved one. With this, it’s clear that the dance crooner came out bold to express his deepest feeling.

Undeniably, from the highlights above, you can tell that the song will surely be underlined by this factor – the power of love. The artist Maneek, with creative efforts, expressed clearly the power of love and the extent to which people love. In the first verse, Maneek said: “me I go spend all my money, cos’ I want to chop life”, showing his intention to spend his last penny on her, You can’t deny that you don’t want to listen already?
