Who Might Most Likely Win?

Burna Boy – Higher

Burna Boy continues to solidify his global dominance, and Higher is one of the year’s biggest songs, with its deep lyrical content and wide-reaching appeal. With global success and massive streams, this track is a top contender.

Asake & Travis Scott – Active

Asake‘s collaboration with Travis Scott on “Active” brings together two major musical forces. The cross-genre fusion of Afrobeats and hip-hop has captivated audiences worldwide, making it a strong contender for the title.

Rema & Shallipopi – Benin Boys

This collaboration blends Rema‘s global appeal with Shallipopi‘s rising star power in the Nigerian music scene. The infectious rhythm and catchy lyrics of Benin Boys have made it a favorite among fans, giving it a shot at taking home the award.

Tyla – Jump

Tyla‘s Jump has captivated listeners with its catchy beat and memorable hook. This track, which has gained significant international attention, could make a big splash at the awards.

Prediction

Given Burna Boy’s track record and global reach with Higher, he seems to be the frontrunner in this category. However, Active by Asake & Travis Scott and Benin Boys by Rema & Shallipopi are also strong contenders, with huge fan bases and chart-topping success.

The competition is tough, but it’s sure to be an exciting race for Song of the Year at the 2025 Trace Awards!
