Mr P Revives P-Square Formula For New Hit
Popular Nigerian singer and choreographer Mr P has credited the success of his trending single ‘I Can’t Look Away’ to a deliberate return to the creative formula that powered defunct duo P-Square.
Speaking in a radio interview with Steve Onu, better known as Yaw, Mr P said he reunited with the key creatives behind P-Square’s biggest records to recapture that signature sound.
“I had to bring back everybody that worked with us as P’Square, like Foster Zeeno, who was the brains behind many of our hits as P’Square,” he revealed.

Mr P also revealed that he recently signed a five-year recording deal with an international company that covers the release of three albums.
“These people have invested so much in me, so I need to deliver,” he emphasized.
The buzz around ‘I Can’t Look Away’ caught the attention of music star Davido, who described the track as a “fire banger” on X, as well as fans largely hailed the song as a nostalgic throwback to the P-Square era that made the duo one of Africa’s most successful acts.
Meanwhile since its release, the song has maintained steady growth and is being cited as proof that Mr P’s return to his roots is paying off.
