Synopsis: Tiwa Savage in this song has given us something true that is not off track but in sync with the society. This she does with good lyrics and vibes forming a wonderful union.

Tiwa Savage released a new single and video, '49-99' on Thursday, September 5, 2019, with the ushering of a listening party. This is her first single under her new record label universal music group. The title and the song as a whole is an embodiment and hugely inspired from the afrobeat king “Fela Anikulapo kuti” whose songs were largely satirical and prophetic.  The first line of the song says “49 sitting 99 standing, oh my God o” clearly exhibiting the imbalanced state of the country. The satirical position is a new angle explored by Savage on this new release being bold and strong through the use of satire in order not to come out too strong, but gently throwing “jibes” at the government. The song sends the clear message of reflection. The scenery that captures Tiwa Savage dancing on the table while politicians droll over her epitomizes the abominable lust these government personnel’s have for young girls. This is simply trying to say how they channel their time to frivolities rather than how to move the country forward. She goes on to use the song to encourage the female artist in the music industry as an avenue to encourage the feminist drive.
