Behind the song
Shekpe! (eh eh) was written to make praise feel as natural on the dance floor as it does in a worship gathering. The song uses the energy, repetition and call-and-response of Nigerian Afrobeat while keeping its centre on gratitude to God. It celebrates waking up, seeing blessings, enjoying love and recognising that good gifts ultimately come from the Lord. The romantic lines sit inside that larger thanksgiving rather than replacing it. The repeated 'Shekpe!' response gives the song its communal character — something people can shout, dance to and enjoy together while still keeping the message rooted in praise.
