Emerging Nigerian Afro-pop artist Deborah Oyekan, professionally known as Debra Can, has released her first single of the year, titled “SSS (E Go Pay)”. The uplifting track showcases Debra Can’s soulful vocals layered over a vibrant Amapiano production by Bobbery.
On SSS (E Go Pay), the Lagos-born-and-bred artist opens up about personal struggles, particularly those tied to her music career. Rather than brushing them aside, she confronts these challenges head-on and transforms them, through the gift of music, into an anthem of resilience and optimism.
The pulsating beat, anchored by robust log drums, delivers a feel-good energy that mirrors the song’s hopeful message. It also highlights Debra Can’s knack for crafting emotive songs that strike a chord with the everyday listener.
SSS (E Go Pay) sees Debra Can dive in with a vulnerability that few artists dare to channel in their art: “I dedicate my time to my music, And I know it’s gon be fine, Blood and sweat I’m not relenting,” she croons in the opening lines before bursting into the chorus with a wave of positive energy: “Cause someday, sometimes, somehow e go pay.”
The track is a radiant blend of Amapiano, soul, and Afrobeats—a reflection of Debra Can’s life experiences, her unshaken hope, and her artistic vision.
With SSS (E Go Pay), Debra Can not only shares a personal journey but also invites listeners into a shared space of perseverance and belief. It’s a bold, feel-good declaration that no matter the odds, staying true to one’s path will eventually pay off.
