Popular Nigerian singer Teni Apata has revealed she recorded “Dads Song”, a track off her debut album “Wondaland” while watching footage of her father’s funeral.

The singer made the revelation during a recent episode of #WithChude. In the video interview, she reflected on, her album, career, and the pains of losing loved ones.

The musician said the footage of her dad’s burial helped to whip up fond memories of her late dad and the needed emotions required for the song.

Teni also revealed that she lost her father at a very young age. She explained that “Dads song” is for everyone who has lost a loved one.

“Dad’s song is a song for everyone that has lost someone. Dealing with loss is crazy because people tell you that you’ll get over it, but you never get over it. You just don’t get over a loss,” she said.

“When I was recording this song I was sitting in my living room and watching my father’s funeral, his body in the casket, my mother crying. I needed those emotions to be able to record that song in its true form. Everything I sang had to be from a place of truth.” She added

Teni Apata also revealed that “Uyo Meyo”, her 2018 hit single, was inspired by her graduation from the varsity after battling several challenges.

“Not being able to graduate on time slowed me down from my music. My parents said, ‘if you’re going to make music, you have to graduate’. I was very frustrated.” she said.

“I remember I was in a car driving to my graduation when I recorded the song. Was just thinking of all my hard work. My mum is from Ondo, and so “Uyo Meyo” means when others win and you celebrate with them, your own too will come.

I was happy for my younger sister when she graduated before me, and when my turn finally came, I was happy, and that’s where that song came from.” She added.

When asked about her view on feminism, she said: “Feminism to me is a lifestyle, in fact, it’s a movement. I have always stood up for equal rights. I am coming from a place where women were in control. It is important for women to take charge. I have seen women do it so I know it’s possible.”
