At its core, “Kilode” (“Why” in Yoruba) is a musical exploration of the emotional turmoil that comes from being in a toxic relationship. The inspiration for the song came from a close friend of AI AYE, who shared his personal experience of lamenting over a partner who cheated on him multiple times. Despite the hurt and betrayal, he found himself unable to sever ties, leading to a cycle of pain and confusion. Captivated by his friend’s story and the emotional rawness it conveyed, AI AYE decided to encapsulate this narrative within his music, thereby birthing “Kilode.”
