Mr Eazi & King Promise Flip Millennial Pop Nostalgia on ‘That Way’

Two of Afropop’s most consistent hitmakers are back in sync. Mr Eazi and King Promise reunite on ‘That Way’, a smooth, warm-hearted new single that reimagines millennial pop nostalgia through a modern Afrobeats lens.

Built around a clever interpolation of the Backstreet Boys classic “I Want It That Way”, the track transforms a familiar global reference into something intimate and contemporary. It’s nostalgic without being gimmicky, using memory as a bridge rather than a crutch.

Produced by Afrobeats heavyweights GuiltyBeatz and JAE5, ‘That Way’ leans into restraint and feeling. King Promise’s velvet melodies glide effortlessly alongside Mr Eazi’s laid-back delivery, anchoring the song as an unpretentious love story about devotion, perspective shifts, and the kind of connection that quietly rearranges your world.

The accompanying video, shot on location in London, mirrors the song’s tone. Warm, intimate, and unforced, it leans into closeness and chemistry rather than spectacle, reinforcing the ease of a partnership rooted in real friendship as much as musical alignment.

‘That Way’ serves as the second single from the duo’s forthcoming joint project See What We’ve Done, arriving this spring. Following fan-favourite collaborations including ‘Dabebi’, ‘Call Waiting’, ‘Baby I’m Jealous’ and last summer’s breakout ‘See What We’ve Done’, the project positions itself as a reflection on growth, connection, and emotional maturity, both in love and in life.

Less about chasing moments and more about writing songs that last, Mr Eazi and King Promise continue to show what happens when African pop is given space to evolve on its own terms.
