Layi B and Ikayh Salute Unwavering Love on “Pere”

By Adedamola Adedayo

In an era where fast love and fleeting romances dominate the airwaves, Pere stands apart as a song rooted in appreciation. Teaming up once again after their 2018 collaboration Shoot Your Shot, Layi B and Ikayh craft a track that shines a light on the kind of love that endures through thick and thin.

The song opens with Ikayh laying out the stakes—his girl is a stunner, drawing attention wherever she goes. He sees the way men lose their composure around her, yet he isn’t worried. Instead, he acknowledges her loyalty, recognizing that while others may try, she continues to choose him. His delivery, smooth yet assured, makes it clear that this is no fluke—it’s a love built on something deeper.

Stepping in with a more personal reflection, Layi B is rewinding to the days when he was just another aspiring rapper chasing a dream. He recalls how she believed in him before the wins started rolling in, how her words of encouragement kept him pushing forward. Now, with success within reach, Pere serves as a reaffirmation—regardless of new attention or fleeting temptations, she remains his priority.

The production, handled by Segun Aniyi and Bond, leans into a calm, crowning the song’s message with breezy instrumentation and a polished mix. Bond’s engineering ensures that every note and lyric lands with clarity, allowing the track’s sincerity to shine through.

More than just another love song, Pere is a tribute to the ones who stick around when things aren’t easy. With heartfelt storytelling and an easygoing groove, Layi B and Ikayh offer a reminder that in a scene obsessed with the rush of new love, sometimes the greatest flex is appreciating the one who’s been there all along.
