Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, aka Fireboy DML, says he was tipsy the night he created his hit song, “Peru”.
The “Jealous” singer made the revelation in an interview with Deezer.
Speaking about the events that led to the making of the song, Fireboy said, “Peru was written and recorded in San Francisco, California.
“It was my first time in the United States and I was supposed to go and see my associates at the empire and just vibe; pay a courtesy visit to Shizzi who produced the song in his studio
At the studio that night, I was tipsy and I just got in the booth. He played the beat. I was like, ‘Um, that’s a vibe.’ And in 30 minutes to 35 minutes, I was literally just singing my story.”

Fireboy also spoke about the hit song’s remix, with Ed Sheeran, noting that the English singer was excited about making the remix.
“Ed Sheeran heard the song and loved it. He was so excited about the whole process; the whole vibe of making the song.
He asked for the lyrics, what every word meant and all of that. In 30 minutes, he was done with his own verse too.”
“Peru” remix recently displaced Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas” to become No. 1 at the United Kingdom Apple Charts.
