Eluem opens up on upcoming single The One

Afrobeats singer Prince Eluem Ogom aka Eluem has spoken about his forthcoming single, ‘The One,’ scheduled for release on January 6, 2026.

Eluem describes it as a personal reflection on love, clarity and emotional timing.

The singer, who has been quietly building momentum in recent months, said the record leans more on feeling than spectacle, even as early promotion around the song has begun to gain attention online.

According to Eluem, ‘The One’ was inspired by moments of certainty that often arrive after confusion in relationships.

“It’s not about chasing love or proving anything,” he said. “It’s about recognising when something feels right and being honest enough to accept it. I wanted the song to sound calm, sincere and familiar, like a conversation people already know.”

Produced by Beatout Central, the track blends mid-tempo Afrobeats rhythms with melodic vocals, keeping the focus on emotion rather than heavy production. Additional production credits on the project include Wavy Martins and Mixfire, who worked across arrangement and sound refinement.

Eluem noted that the collaborative process helped shape the tone of the song.

“We didn’t rush it,” he said. “Everyone involved understood that this record needed space. Sometimes the simplest sound carries the strongest meaning.”

Eleum reveals that the single would be accompanied by a promotional video.

While love remains a familiar subject within Afrobeats, Eluem believes The One approaches it from a more reflective angle.

“A lot of love songs talk about excitement or heartbreak,” he said. “This one sits in between. It’s about maturity, about knowing what you want and being at peace with it.”
