Initially, he had written the song for Kofi Nti. But when we ended up in Bodo Staiger\u2019s studio, he pleaded with Kofi Nti.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He told him he would write another song for him, but he wanted to rather do it with me,\u201d Samini said in an interview on\u00a0<strong>Daybreak Hitz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the German producer was behind many hit songs in Ghana by Daddy Lumba, Daasebre Gyamenah and others, thus he knew their song would also be a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe first part of my song was freestyle, but I returned the following day to retake it and that is how we made the magic. You could tell I was very happy around that time so the song came to me easily. If you do music too rigid sometimes it won\u2019t work,\u201d Samini added.<\/p>\n \n                               <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                         \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musician, Samini has revealed how he recorded the hit song, \u2018Odwo\u2019 with highlife legend, Ofori Amponsah in 2006.
