In celebration of her 26th birthday, the Afropop singer released a profound track titled “Uyo Meyo” a song which she previously freestyled on her graduation day sometime in July 2018.

In the song, Teni brilliantly sings a traditional Ondo song urging everyone to celebrate with her.

Kajo kajo kajo (Let’s dance)
kayo kayo kayo (let’s rejoice)
Uyo Meyo leun o san o kan mi o e (I rejoiced with you and now its my time to rejoice)

She also talks about her struggles and hope of greater things to come


Everybody’s born a winner
If only you just believe yea eh yeh eh
Close your eyes and come and see
Don’t you worry about a thing nah
Cause if you work hard
You can get it if you work
If you strive hard
You can be just what you want
If you work hard
You can climb the mountain tall
Cause nothing is too small
And nothing is too big

To conclude the song, Teni vows to supercede her parent’s achievements, reassuring us of the greatness that lies ahead.

Ibi ti Daddy mi o de (where my father couldn’t reach)
Ma de be ma tu koja (I’ll get there and I’ll pass)
Ibi ti Mummy mi o de (where my mother couldn’t reach)
Ma de be ma tu koja (I’ll get there and I’ll pass)
