In a time when the grind can sometimes feel never-ending, Nigerian singer Debra Can drown out the noise with her commanding new single, “SSS (E Go Pay).” Mixing Afrobeats and a dash of Amapiano swag, the infectious track is not just rhythm but a comforting elixir.
“SSS (E Go Pay)” hooks you in with its energetic beat, thumping, colorful, and impossible to sit still through. But beneath the groove is something more profound. Debra Can is here to tell you that your fight is not futile. From a place of her own pain and the continued problems in Nigeria, she takes her pain and turns it into purpose, making the struggle for all to see.
Debra excels at intertwining meaning with melody. The production is crisp and modern, imbued with the bounce and pulse of today’s hottest Afrobeats but with an eye on the roots of African storytelling through sound. And though it’s made for the dancefloor, “SSS (E Go Pay)” holds on in the memory long, not just because of how it sounds but because of what it says.
“Someday, Sometime, Somehow, e go pay,” she declares throughout the track with calm resolve. It’s a mantra for dreamers, hustlers, and anyone who believes the best days are yet to come. A large part of what makes the song great is its lyrical simplicity.
In a music world full of feel-good bops so often less than skin deep, Debra Can digs deeper and stands taller for it. “SSS (E Go Pay)” is not just a track but an acknowledgment. A reminder that pain doesn’t get the last word, and no matter how dark it is, there’s always a place to go. For lovers of motivational music, a short with irresistible beats, Debra Can has delivered the anthem of the moment with her latest single. This one lifts your spirits.
