Craig David opens up on new song collaboration with Tiwa Savage

British-born singer Craig Ashley David, popularly known in music circles as Craig David, has recalled how he linked up with Tiwa Savage for a new song titled “Commitment.”

The musician, who rose to fame in 1999, featuring on the single “Re-Rewind” by Artful Dodger, said that his team unanimously suggested that they feature Tiwa Savage on the new song when he asked them who to feature on the track.

Craig David, who opened up during a recent interview on the Capital Xtra podcast, stated that his team eventually reached out to the Nigerian singer, not knowing if she would be interested or if they would be ignored, but she came back so graciously.

He said: “We were all in the studio, brainstorming, and someone said, ‘What about Tiwa Savage?’ I was like, ‘What about Tiwa? That is a great idea!’

“So, we reached out to her, not knowing if she would be interested or if we would just get ignored. But she came back so graciously.

“She said, ‘Even if the song was not that great, I still would have jumped on it’. That is when I knew this was love.

“She got on the track, and next thing you know, we had this amazing song that perfectly blends our worlds.

“It went from fire emojis to voice notes. The way her ad-libs hit? It was next level. We were both gassed.”
