Why it's here
"WHY LOVE," first issued as a standalone single on 11 February 2025 on Asake's Giran Republic label, was later placed as track 8 on his fourth studio album M$NEY, released 1 May 2026 via EMPIRE. [1] Asake is touring behind that album on the 'In God We Trust' run, which opened with a headline set at Afro Nation Portimão on 4 July 2026 and continues into North America from late August 2026. [2] Before M$NEY, Asake played an African tour that included a Lagos show at the Eko Convention Center in partnership with Flytime Fest. [3]
