“Deja Vu” by Sarkodie and KiDi is a deeply moving Afrobeats love composition powered by rich emotional melodies, honest lyricism, and a penitent romantic atmosphere.
The track delves into themes of profound regret, heartbreak, and a yearning for reconciliation, with Sarkodie openly expressing sorrow for causing pain to his partner and begging for her pardon. By pairing KiDi’s velvety vocal performance with Sarkodie’s candid narrative style, the song brilliantly illustrates the anguish of letting go of someone precious, recognizing the error of underestimating genuine affection, and remaining fully resolved to mend a fractured partnership.

You loved me for who I am and gave me everything I need
But I turned around, stabbed your heart, and watched you bleed
I caused you a lot of pain, wa brɛ Ama, please
You gave me heaven on earth, you gave me peace
I promise to make it up to you, I know I did you wrong
You never know what you have until it’s gone
Wo gyaa me ho bosome pɛ bɛ whɛ ma fɔn
You don’t wanna pick my calls, so I put it in a song
I’m sorry I gave you hell
Ama, my baby girl
Wonkasa, but I can tell
All the emotions you felt
Wanted to double you, but then I took an L
If you can’t love me again, I wish you well, but… what else?
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, just take me back, I don’t know
‘Cause I don’t want no deja vu again
(I don’t want no deja vu again, and I’m sorry that I caused you all the pain)
Oh, baby, just take me back, I don’t know
‘Cause I don’t want no deja vu again
(I don’t want no deja vu again, and I’m sorry that I caused you all the pain)
Again, again, again o

Apart from sɛ wo Susan yɛ me fɛ, wo yɛ my type
If you leave me, I go kill myself, I no go lie
