Young Jonn, Desperados release ‘Let It Go’ with Latin-inspired Afrobeats sound
Desperados has collaborated with Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn on a new track, Let It Go, blending Afrobeats with Latin-inspired sounds to appeal to young music lovers.
The song samples Guao Guao by Venezuelan artiste Micro TDH and Colombian producer Ovy On The Drums, combining elements of the original track with Young Jonn’s Afrobeats style.
The collaboration reflects Desperados’ efforts to connect with young audiences through music, nightlife and social experiences, according to the material announcing the release.
Let It Go centres on themes of relaxation, enjoyment and taking a break from everyday pressures. Its lyrics reference the challenges of daily life, encouraging listeners to set aside their worries and enjoy themselves.
The song’s chorus, which includes the line “Free all my worries and let it go,” reinforces its central message, while its upbeat rhythm and repetitive hook make it easy for listeners to follow.
The track also brings together musical influences from different regions, with the Latin-inspired elements of Guao Guao providing a foundation for Young Jonn’s Afrobeats delivery.
Beyond its musical arrangement, the song draws on familiar social experiences among young people, including making spontaneous plans with friends, sharing updates in group chats and attending parties.
Its lyrics reference coordinating outings and inviting friends to join social gatherings, reflecting the role of digital communication in organising leisure activities.
Desperados said the collaboration aligns with its focus on creating experiences that connect with young people through music and social interaction.
The song is positioned for use at parties, concerts and informal gatherings, where its upbeat sound and singalong chorus could appeal to group audiences.
The collaboration highlights the intersection of music and brand partnerships, where companies seek to reach younger consumers by associating their products with entertainment and popularity.
