This might be my last studio album. I am tired, I don try.

Her international career soared after competing in the UK edition of The X Factor in 2006, where she reached the top 24 contestants.
In 2009, she signed a major publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music, writing hits for artists like Jaicko and Kat DeLuna.
Tiwa earned her first Grammy nomination in 2010 through her collaboration with Fantasia on the track ‘Collard Greens & Cornbread.’
Over the years, she has released multiple chart-topping albums and collaborated with renowned artists worldwide.
