With You became an instant fan favourite among the 17 songs on the Afrobeats singer's new album 5Five, thanks to its groovy, upbeat production.

About a million TikTok videos have been created so far using Omah Lay's infectious verse.

Scores of celebrities and content creators, including Sabinus and Emmanuella, have joined the frenzy.

The 30-second video of Ananzo was recorded at work. He was in his all black work outfit as he sang Davido's song passionately.

Ananzo's performance has garnered nearly ten million hits on TikTok alone in less than four days.

A huge part of the video's viral success comes from Davido's magical cosign to Ananzo.
