Romantic insecurity is brought into great relief on “Abeg O”, a 2026 song by Nigerian musician Kunmie and his first album 22.
Kunmie writes from the unsettled side of affection, when wanting someone sincerely leaves room for worry about the security of the connection. The repetition of the request in the hook lends that uncertainty a direct, even conversational feel.
The song avoids complex visual metaphors to dress up the worry, instead relying on repetition and emotional insistence to ensure that Kunmie’s queries remain the major focus of tension on the album.
And it fits well beside the greater emotional language of 22, an album where connection often stands alongside self-doubt, anxiety and the prospect of losing what counts. Here, Kunmie lets that vulnerability stay unsolved instead of putting reassurance into the ending.
