Released in 2017 as part of Davido’s impressive four-track hit streak, ‘Fall’ played a pivotal role in the early global outreach of Afrobeats. This chart-topping single garnered commercial success not only in the UK, US, and Europe but also contributed to the genre’s international recognition.
Following the hit ‘IF,’ which initiated Davido’s remarkable series of successes, including ‘FIA’ and ‘Like Dat,’ ‘Fall’ marked a significant milestone in the artist’s career.
The 2017 release achieved notable milestones, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it became one of the first Afrobeats songs to receive certification. In the United States, ‘Fall’ earned an RIAA Platinum plaque, solidifying its impact on a global scale.
Produced by KDDO, the track is a standout on Davido’s sophomore album, ‘A Good Time,’ unveiled in 2019. With over 280 million views on YouTube, ‘Fall’ remains a key component of Davido’s touring lineup, thanks to its enduring international popularity.
In a distinguished accolade, Davido’s ‘Fall’ now joins the ranks of Afrobeats hits certified diamond in France, alongside Oxlade’s ‘Kulosa,’ Burna Boy’s ‘Last Last,’ Ayra Starr’s ‘Rush,’ and Rema’s ‘Calm Down.’ This recognition underscores the continued global impact of Davido’s music and the wider influence of Afrobeats on the international music scene.
