Craig David has premiered the video for his latest single ‘Commitment’ featuring Tiwa Savage.

The song is about putting in effort that goes unnoticed. “Every time I show you vibes you cannot see it / Every time I tell the truth you don’t believe it,” he says in the chorus. Tiwa responds, explaining her distance. “We fell in love instantly. You’re a man on a mission. Stacking your paper. So I kept a distance, babe.” Even with the tension, there’s still a spark: “I still want it all night. Undo this dress; show me your might.”

Speaking on Capital XTRA Breakfast, Craig explained how the collaboration happened. “The song was about commitment, about a relationship, and about what it’s like,” he said. “It’s all good — the romantic phase. But what’s it like when you’ve got to dig deep, when you’re like, ‘OK, it’s getting a bit tough here.’ And we were like, ‘But who could pan this?’ And everyone unanimously, weirdly enough, said, ‘What about Tiwa Savage?’ I said, ‘Tiwa Savage!’”

He continued, “So it all happened. So, then it was like, a case of just reaching out… She came back so graciously, and she said the other day, ‘Listen, even if the song wasn’t that great, like the 70% you’re done, I still would have jumped on it.’ I was like, ‘This is love.’ So, she jumped on it, and next thing you know, we’ve got this song that, for me, it sort of embodies both of our worlds, and it feels legit, and it hits the right spot.”
