Ghanaian singer Akwaboah has opened up about the lengthy process of creating his hit song, Hye Me Bo. He shared that it took him more than a year to finish the track, making it his longest project to date.

During an interview on Hitz FM, Akwaboah explained that songwriting usually comes easily to him, depending on his mood. However, crafting love songs takes more time and care to make sure they connect with real emotions.

While most of his popular songs are recorded within two to three months, he shared that Hye Me Bo was different. It required him to dive deep into his feelings, ensuring the song truly captured what was in his heart.

“It’s not just a song,” Akwaboah explained. “It took getting deep into my emotions. It comes with a vibe, and then you start writing depending on how you feel. You really need to talk to yourself to get it done.”

He acknowledged that his need for perfection caused delays in the process. Whenever the lyrics didn’t feel right, he would pause and come back later to make sure every line was just right.

In the end, the song turned out to be exactly what he wanted—a true reflection of his feelings and fears, while celebrating the beauty of love. It touches on his fear of love, shaped by seeing his father’s painful experiences. But after experiencing love for himself, he found its sweetness and promised to create lasting memories of it.

The masterpiece was recorded during Akwaboah’s time under Sarkcess Music, six years ago. Since its release, Hye Me Bo has garnered over 1.4 million views and 12,000 likes on YouTube.
