Released as the second single from Davido’s second studio
album ‘A Good Time’ (2019), ‘Fall’ was produced by Kiddominant. In February
2019, the hit became the longest-charting Nigerian pop song in Billboard
history.
It was ranked at number 163 on Pitchfork’s list of the 200
Best Songs of the 2010s. It would later be certified gold by the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Music Canada.
The accompanying video for ‘Fall’ was directed by Daps, Nigerian-born British music video director. In December 2018, it first surpassed 100 million views, becoming the most viewed by a Nigerian artiste on Youtube at the time.
During the video’s opening, Davido appears to be in a hot
argument with his lover. He exits a Rolls-Royce after the argument and spends
the rest of the video daydreaming about being with a ballerina from behind a
glass window.
