Musically, 2021 was a competitive year that saw a lot of unexpected hits.<\/p>\n<p>Nigerian musicians churned out songs with premium qualities. However, some were at the center stage. We carefully reviewed 300 Nigerian songs for this list. We didn\u2019t pay special attention to any musician, no favoritism at all. WithinNigeria is for quality music.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2021\/12\/31\/nigerian-music-5-top-albums-that-made-waves-in-2021-wn-picks\/\">We evaluated<\/a> all the songs for critical assessments. For this list, we didn\u2019t let the international acceptance of some songs influence our decision. Before the songs became recognised in the international scene, how well did the songs do in Nigeria? Are they still thriving?<\/p>\n<p>Considering their lyrical contents, production qualities, the impacts they had (are having) on listeners and the society at large, these 10 songs are the top Afrobeats songs that shaped 2021.<\/p>\n<h4>10. High By Adekunle Gold Ft. Davido<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Adekunle Gold, Davido - High (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/juBnNBm0cPw?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Adekunle Gold can be unpredictable with his creative direction. He approached \u2018High\u2019 from a relaxing yet energetic angle that blends his energy with that of Davido, who is always hyper.<\/p>\n<p>Released in September 2021, the effect of \u2018High\u2019 is very much around and the song is still making waves in Nigeria. The audio for \u2018High\u2019 was produced by Pheelz, mixed and mastered by Vtek, while Nicholas Maggio directed the official music video.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018High\u2019 preaches about enjoying life and forgetting about one\u2019s worries.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Sip (Alcohol) By Joeboy<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joeboy - Sip (Alcohol) [Official Music Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UEcAPvoSe_8?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Joeboy knows how to penetrate the hearts of his fans. On \u2018Sip (Alcohol)\u2019, he delivered easy-to-recall lyrics to the infectious beat produced by Tempoe.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sip (Alcohol)\u2019 is an Afrobeats song that blends Amapiano rhythm in a low-tempo cadence. Oozing sweet harmonies, Joeboy poured out his mind in the addictive track.<\/p>\n<p>Released in September 2021.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Understand by Omah Lay<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Omah Lay - Understand (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X3Ai6osw3Mk?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Omah Lay\u2019s \u2018Understand\u2019 is another song that made Nigerians high in 2021. Released in July 2021, Omah Lay maintained his stylish and mollifying music knack.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Understand\u2019 tells a story of a man who was in love with a user. Apparently, Omah Lay was being used by a lady who he did so much for, only for him to be friend-zoned later on.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Understand\u2019 was produced by Tempeo, the same producer who engineered \u2018Sip (Alcohol)\u2019 by Joeboy.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Bloody Samaritan By Ayra Starr<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ayra Starr - Bloody Samaritan (Official Music Video) [Dir. by Ayra Starr]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zcR0PWGfUhs?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Ayra Starr has no business with negativity in \u2018Bloody Samaritan\u2019. She expressed optimism throughout the song. No wonder it became an instant hit upon its release.<\/p>\n<p>She released the song at a time new variant of COVID-19 was threatening to take the world on another lockdown, but \u2018Bloody Samaritan\u2019 re-energized and gave hope.<\/p>\n<p>The amazing songstress held that she is in control of her own fate, rhyming that anything she believes will happen will definitely come to pass.<\/p>\n<p>Ayra Starr flowed intelligently on London\u2019s captivating production.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Holy Father By Mayorkun &amp; Victony<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mayorkun &amp; Victony - Holy Father (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8GfMfoWUJHc?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Do you still think men don\u2019t fall in love? Well, Mayorkun\u2019s \u2018Holy Father\u2019 with Victony says differently.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Holy Father\u2019 is a song about masculine vulnerability, and a man who is ready to be submissive while his woman dominates him. Despite pointing at heartbreak, Mayorkun sang to clarify his state of mind, and struggle to reactivate the dead romance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Holy Father\u2019 was released in October 2021 and produced by TBD.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Big Thug Boys By AV<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AV - BIG THUG BOYS (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mb28JAoEKAU?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Are you still doubting the power of social media? \u2018Big Thug Boys by AV is a song that was very popular in 2021, however, not the singer.<\/p>\n<p>AV, in \u2018Big Thug Boys\u2019, boasts about the financial strength of his crew and their habit of using money to entice ladies.<\/p>\n<p>The song is all about the luxury lifestyle they live and their fear for police. \u2018Big Thug Boys\u2019 was produced by Kulboy, mixed, and mastered by Ultra Sounds. Director Dindu directed the flick.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Feelings By Ladipoe Ft. Buju<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LADIPOE - Feeling feat. Buju (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a56eW1JM6M0?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Ladipoe lectures us on living a stress-free life in the Andre Vibez-produced \u2018Feelings\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Ladipoe\u2019s confidence in this song, matched with Buju\u2019s honeyed and melodious lines, are all listeners need to get their state of mind rejuvenated.<\/p>\n<p>They both sang about how they used to struggle, but that was their past. Ladipoe and his visitor, Buju, want their listeners to be unflustered, and they achieved it.<\/p>\n<p>They dropped \u2018Feelings\u2019 in May 2021.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Peru By Fireboy DML<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fireboy DML - Peru (Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p6uXFreFPyA?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u2018Peru\u2019 gave Fireboy DML the spotlight he deserved in 2021. Fireboy displayed his expertise in word play, sharp lyricism and Afrobeats wit.<\/p>\n<p>The song centered on love, dance, and struggle. Without losing out on his attractive melodies, Fireboy reflected on his exciting lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Monalisa By Lojay and Sarz<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LOJAY X SARZ - MONALISA\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/to8nQNGarRw?list=PLkUfkFjnEfYDYqevEigv5hWIqbAF6AnoH\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>You want a sure hit? Go to Sarz! From the beginning to the end of \u2018Monalisa\u2019, if care isn\u2019t taken, you\u2019ll be enchanted.<\/p>\n<p>This is arguably the finest song of 2021, thanks to Sarz\u2019s expertise and Lojay\u2019s sweet chorus on \u2018Monalisa\u2019.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Somebody\u2019s Son By Tiwa Savage Ft. Brandy<\/h4>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tiwa Savage - Somebody&#039;s Son ft.
