Popular singer, Tiwa Savage, has dropped the video for her new single, ‘49-99’.

The single and video is her first since she left Mavin Records and joined Universal Music Group in May.

According to Tiwa, the song encourages the young to play down the sense of inheritance and work for what they desire in life.

The video recreates Congo High of Class of ’72, an epic photography collection of Congolese school girls in hairstyles and blue uniforms.

Explaining the styling of the girls in the photographs and explaining what the song is about, she said:

“The song encourages the young to put down the sense of inheritance and work for what they desire in life, for a better tomorrow.

“We can’t sit on our old glories and expect things to change for the better. On ’49-99,’ Tiwa says.

“‘49-99’ also addresses some political leaders who, instead of focusing on the growth of a nation, are there just for the money and having affairs with underage girls.

While the citizenry is hustling hard to make a daily living.”
