Sunny Neji – Face Me

"Face Me" is a song by Sunny Neji, drawn from his celebrated 2003 album, Unchained, alongside its more famous sibling, the wedding staple "Oruka." Built around a simple, repeated call and response hook, "if you face me, I face you, hold me I hold you," the track leaned into a lighter, dance floor ready energy that contrasted with the romantic ballad style Neji had become known for. It quickly earned a reputation as a party favourite at Nigerian gatherings, distinct from the more sentimental "Oruka" that dominated wedding playlists from the same record. The song remains part of the Unchained era that cemented Neji's status as one of Nigeria's leading contemporary highlife voices, a run of hits that came three years before the more experimental, R&B leaning Off Da Hook.
