Justin Bieber\u2019s affinity for afrobeats has been growing lately. <\/p>\n
Last year, he jumped on the remix of Wizkid and Tems\u2019 massive single, \u201cEssence\u201d, helping propel it into a global hit. <\/p>\n
\u201cEssence\u201d landed in the top 10 of the Billboard 100 chart and is the biggest song by a Nigerian artist ever in North America. <\/p>\n
Bieber went on to tease an unreleased afrobeats song titled \u201cFreedom\u201d at a show late last year.<\/p>\n
Now the \u201cYummy\u201d hitmaker has teamed up with Nigerian star Omah Lay for the infectious new afrobeats collaboration entitled \u201cAttention\u201d.<\/p>\n
Since emerging onto the afrobeats scene with the viral hit \u201cBad Influence\u201d, Omah Lay has quickly become one of Nigeria\u2019s biggest artists.<\/p>\n
With \u201cAttention\u201d, Omah\u2019s stock is bound to rise exponentially. The single has a similar bounce to Drake\u2019s 2016 smash afrobeats hit \u201cOne Dance\u201d, which became the biggest song of his career. It\u2019s clearly a winning formula.<\/p>\n
With afrobeats making serious gains with music fans stateside, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if \u201cAttention\u201d achieves similar commercial success to \u201cOne Dance\u201d.<\/p>\n
The song was released along with a music video directed by veteran American director Colin Tilley. The video sees the two artists vibing around a bonfire at night with a few friends.<\/p>\n
Fans have already started gushing over the collaboration on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t know where beiber\u2019s (sic) voice stops and omah lay starts in #Attention. They sound almost alike,\u201d said @cfcdude. \u201cBeautiful song tbh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOmah Lay and Justin Bieber formed a formidable duo on that \u201cAttention\u201d song, their delivery on the song is quite impressive,\u201d noted @itzbasito. \u201cYou can tell they both enjoyed themselves in the studio during the recording of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n
