Nigerian singer and songwriter Fave has just delivered one of her most emotionally raw and honest performances to date with her new single, “Intentions”, which premiered live on the globally acclaimed COLORS stage. This track marks a new era for the fast-rising Afro-R&B star, one grounded in emotional honesty, maturity, and lyrical depth.
Sung over delicate guitar strings and soft ambient production, “Intentions” is a soulful reflection on ambition, expectations, and the personal battles that come with navigating fame, love, and self-worth. Fave doesn’t hold back as she pleads for clarity in a world where motives are often murky. “Don’t be around me if you don’t have good intentions,” she sings with piercing vulnerability, setting the tone for a song that many listeners have called her most relatable and heartfelt yet.
Produced by Jonah Little and OTIS, “Intentions” is both minimalist and emotionally heavy. It touches on everything from loyalty to pressure, personal growth, and the complexity of human relationships. It’s a reminder of the high emotional intelligence Fave brings to her songwriting, a rare trait that has defined her artistry since her breakout hit “Baby Riddim.”
As her audience grows across Africa and beyond, “Intentions” shows that Fave isn’t chasing trends; she’s also carving out her path. And with this kind of honesty and soul, it’s clear that her journey is only just beginning.
