Gabzy’s latest single, X, is a refreshing take on the classic breakup song.
Blending the soulful sounds of 2000s R&B and Afrobeats, the track exudes confidence and swagger while acknowledging the vulnerability of heartbreak.
Produced by Nigerian Grammy award-winning producer Dera, the mid-tempo melody serves as the perfect backdrop for Gabzy’s introspective lyrics.
His soulful vocals glide over guitar strums, understated synths, and a gentle beat, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that transports listeners back to the golden age of R&B.
While X begins as a contemplative reflection on a past relationship, it quickly transforms into a celebration of self-worth and empowerment.
The chorus, with its infectious melody and clever wordplay, captures this shift perfectly.
“If I was your ex, that would be quite a flex, to you, for you,” Gabzy croons, subtly reminding his former partner of what they’re missing.
With its unique blend of retro charm and modern sensibility, X is a captivating musical experience that showcases Gabzy’s artistry and pays homage to the sounds that shaped a generation.

Chorus
If I was your ex

When the relationship ends
Verse
If you want to leave, be my guest
Not staying under pressure is the best you can get
Not saying it to flex, I just hopped in the jet

If you want to go, baby just go
