image name Since the dawn of the decade, Bella Shmurda has emerged as one of Afropop's most compelling voices. From the streets of Lagos to global stages, Bella has woven his personal story into every note he sings. His music is an expression of who he is, shaped by the highs and lows that have defined his life.

“Verily,” Bella Shmurda's latest single, is a hypnotic Afro-fusion track that highlights the complexities of love and heartbreak.

"Verily" explores the emotional turmoil of lost love. Lines like “She turn me to sinner” and “Now I depend on ganja, come put me for rehab” speaks to the longing, regret, and self-destruction.

Bella’s voice soars through the mid-tempo rhythm, balancing introspection with groove. It’s catchy yet profound, drawing listeners in with its repetitive, chant-like hook while offering a window into the artist's soul. This fusion of style and substance makes “Verily” a standout addition to Bella’s discography.

The recurring phrase “Verily, Verily” lends a poetic, almost biblical weight to the lyrics, reinforcing the certainty of Bella’s feelings.

The song captures late-night moments of overthinking, the quiet desperation of smoking to numb pain, and the ache of wanting someone who may never return.

“Verily” is now available on all streaming platforms.
