Funke Akindele teams up with Waje, Bisola Aiyeola, and Chioma Chukwuka for “Ore mi,” the soundtrack to her new movie The Four. Here’s the gist.
So Funke Akindele has done it again. This time, she’s pulled Waje, Bisola Aiyeola, and Chioma Chukwuka into the studio, and together they’ve dropped a song called “Ore mi.” It’s the official soundtrack for her upcoming movie, The Four, and honestly, the internet is already loving it.
Here’s the thing about this song. It’s not just some random collab thrown together for buzz. It mixes English, Igbo, and Yoruba, and it’s built around the whole idea of the movie itself, friendship, love, and the kind of bond that doesn’t break easily.
Funke actually opened up about why they made it this way. She said, “We got into the studio to create one of the soundtracks for The Four, and we wanted to make something that felt personal and familiar. Something with that beautiful folktale feeling we grew up with, telling stories through music, especially stories of friendship, love, and the bond we share.”
You can feel that in how she talks about it, right? Like this wasn’t just a marketing move. It sounds like something that actually meant something to the four of them.
This isn’t Funke’s first time turning a movie into a musical moment too. Remember Everybody Loves Christmas back in 2024? She teamed up with Falz, D’banj, and other cast members for that soundtrack, and it ended up becoming one of those songs people still play every festive season. So there’s a bit of a pattern here. Funke doesn’t just make movies, she makes moments around them.
Beyond the song, Funke has also been dropping little teasers from different scenes in The Four, giving fans small tastes of what’s coming. And now that “Ore mi” is out, people are even more curious about how the song will actually show up in the story. Will it play during an emotional scene? A flashback? Nobody knows yet, and that’s exactly what’s keeping people talking.
There’s also something nice about seeing four women, all big names in their own right, come together for something like this. It’s not always common, and when it happens, people notice.
At this point, The Four already has fans hooked before the movie even lands. And if “Ore mi” is anything to go by, this one’s going to hit different when it finally arrives.
