Adekunle Gold and Davido just released the music video for “Only God Can Save Me” on February 12, 2026. Despite the title, this isn’t a gospel song. It’s about dealing with temptation while trying to stay faithful in marriage.
“Only God Can Save Me”: The Meaning Behind the Song
In marriages, especially for celebrities, constant attention and temptation are real challenges. Fame brings travel, late nights, and people who want your attention everywhere you go. Most celebrities pretend their marriages are perfect and avoid talking about these struggles. But this is exactly what “Only God Can Save Me” addresses.
Only God can save me
How do I look away when this fine girls want me
Yeah yeah
Life is for living
The track is from Adekunle Gold’s FUJI album that came out in October 2025. Both artists are married, and instead of pretending everything is easy, they’re being honest. The song talks about the attention they get from women and the conscious effort it takes to stay loyal.
The lyrics are playful but real. They’re not bragging about bad behavior; they’re admitting that staying faithful requires work and discipline.
The title “Only God Can Save Me” shows they’re acknowledging they need help to stay on the right path. It’s their way of saying temptation is real, but they’re choosing to do the work to honor their marriages.
The Music Video of “Only God Can Save Me”
The video was directed by Perliks and dropped on February 12, 2026. It shows both artists performing and includes different scenes that match what the song is talking about. Visually, it uses warm, golden lighting that gives the scenes a relaxed vibe.
Both artists appear in multiple settings, some shots show them performing in front of colorful, patterned backdrops with rich reds and oranges, while other scenes place them in dimly lit spaces that feel more personal.
The video includes women dancing and moving around the artists in various scenes, directly connecting to the song’s theme about temptation. The camera work switches between close-up shots of Adekunle Gold and Davido as they deliver their verses, and wider shots that show the full atmosphere. The editing keeps a steady pace, matching the rhythm of the song.

Previous Collaboration Between Davido & Adekunle Gold
This isn’t the first time Adekunle Gold and Davido have worked together. In 2021, they released “High” from Adekunle Gold’s “Catch Me If You Can” album. That song became one of the biggest hits of the year and showed that the two artists work well together.
In July 2025, Davido hinted on social media that he was working on a new verse for AG Baby, saying “WE ACTIVE!!!” Fans were excited because they had been waiting for another collaboration after “High.” Now they have “Only God Can Save Me.” After the release of the music video, Adekunle tweeted on his page “Big Fish Again, Davido saves his best verse for me. God bless that guy!” You could really feel how excited and proud he was to work with Davido.
The song mixes traditional Fuji music with Afropop. Fuji is a Nigerian music style that uses talking drums and percussion. Adekunle Gold took this traditional sound and added modern production. The result is something that sounds fresh but still respects the roots of Fuji music.
The FUJI album has 15 tracks total, and this collaboration with Davido is one of the standout songs.
Conclusion
“Only God Can Save Me” marks another successful collaboration between Adekunle Gold and Davido, four years after “High.” The song stands out because both artists chose honesty. They’re talking about real marriage challenges that most celebrities won’t touch.
The Fuji-Afropop production gives it a distinct sound, and Perliks’ direction brings the concept to life visually. It’s the kind of music that sparks conversation, which is often what the best collaborations do.
