The track, featuring American singer Brent Faiyaz, was highly anticipated by fans. Their collaboration combines Wizkid’s signature Afrobeat style with Faiyaz’s soulful R&B sound, creating a unique and engaging musical blend.
Turntable Charts, via X (formerly Twitter), confirmed that “Piece of My Heart” hit the 1.01 million-stream milestone, surpassing the previous first-day record on Spotify Nigeria, held by Wizkid’s previous collaboration with Asake on “MMS” (870K streams) and “IDK” featuring Zlatan (626K streams).

Produced by P2J and Dpat, the song blends smooth, heartfelt lyrics with themes of love and devotion. Faiyaz’s emotional chorus, “Nothing can tear us apart, you’ve got a piece of my heart,” paired with Wizkid’s powerful vocals, enhances the song’s emotional depth. Fans are already excited for what’s to come from Wizkid’s album.
