Originating from Nigeria and derived from the Yoruba language, the Afro-pidgin term "jeje" means "go easy" or "chill." On "Love Me Jeje," Tems tells a tale about wanting that sweet, slow kinda love.
Tems wrote the lyrics, but Ghanaian beatsmith Guiltybeatz (who's worked with WizKid and Burna Boy) and Nigerian producer Spax (known for tracks with Oxlade and Show Dem Camp) cooked up the beat.
"Love Me Jeje" samples a 1997 Nigerian classic of the same name by Seyi Sodimu. Tems tweeted that the song is "a tribute" to Sodimu, a way to pay respect to his music that soundtracked her childhood.
