Nigerian singer Johnny Drille has shared the inspiration behind his hit song 'How Are You My Friend'.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, he revealed that the passing of Don Jazzy's mother served as the catalyst for the song. Johnny Drille co-wrote the track with Don Jazzy, who initially came up with the idea.
"The inspiration behind 'How Are You My Friend' was Don Jazzy having just lost his mother a couple of weeks prior," explained Johnny Drille during the interview with Hip TV.
He further shared, "I guess the song was his own way of expressing it because a lot of people were reaching out to him who he hadn't heard from in years."
Johnny Drille reflected on the theme of the song, saying, "I believe we are also living in perilous times. The economy is insane. Many folks are struggling. Many people are going through problems in their lives that they may not always feel comfortable disclosing. And I suppose that's why people were able to connect with the song."
