Released on August 18, 2025, Afrobeat artist Ex’tiiz drops “Move”, a lively, versatile single that blends irresistible grooves with playful, street-smart lyrics. Known for his willingness to experiment with different sounds, Ex’tiiz uses this track to remind listeners why Afrobeat continues to dominate global dance floors: it’s infectious, boundary-pushing, and universally fun.
From the first beat, “Move” is all about energy. The percussion is crisp, the bassline smooth, and the flow shifts seamlessly between Yoruba-infused phrases and English hooks. The track pulses with a rhythm that practically commands the listener to hit the floor, it’s no surprise the hook insists: “Groove… Move… tell me why you wouldn’t wanna move.”

It’s hypnotic in its simplicity, the kind of chant that sticks in your head long after the song ends.
Ex’tiiz keeps it playful and flirty, sliding between swagger and sincerity. In lines like: “What’s your number, what’s your name, Sikiratu, what’s your plan?”
he’s cheeky and direct, but the delivery is lighthearted rather than heavy-handed. Later, he shifts into aspirational vibes “Will take you to France, visa free, if you want Italy” grounding the song in the Afrobeat tradition of pairing groove with aspirational storytelling.
“Move” succeeds because it’s equal parts smooth and high-energy. Every element, from the vocal layering to the beat drops, complements the others, creating a track that feels polished without losing its raw dance-floor pull. Ex’tiiz leans into versatility, weaving in Afro-fusion flavors while keeping the song firmly rooted in Afrobeat’s celebratory DNA.
