Here&#8217;s the story behind the new song and its video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What happens when a Latin reggaeton groove lands in Lagos? You get &#8220;Let It Go,&#8221; the new song from Young Jonn and Desperados.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s out now with an official video, and Yung Willis produced it. The whole idea is simple: stop overthinking and enjoy the moment.<br \/><br \/>Here&#8217;s the interesting part. The song isn&#8217;t built from scratch. It&#8217;s based on a sample of &#8220;Guao Guao,&#8221; a reggaeton track Desperados made earlier with Venezuelan artist Micro TDH and Colombian producer Ovy On The Drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the Latin heartbeat is still there. But Young Jonn didn&#8217;t just copy it. He pulled it into his own world and gave it a Nigerian feel, the kind of rhythm that gets your shoulders moving before you&#8217;ve even decided to dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/images28129.jpg\" alt=\"images (1).\" class=\"wp-image-10067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/images28129.jpg 720w, https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/images28129-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/images28129-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yung Jonn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, it makes sense. He&#8217;s an award-winning producer, songwriter and artist, so taking a foreign flavour and making it sound like home is what he does.<br>And Yung Willis is no small name either. The Grammy-nominated producer has worked with Wizkid, Davido, Kizz Daniel, Falz, Zlatan, BNXN, Patoranking, Niniola and Ice Prince. That&#8217;s a lot of big names.<br><br>Picture one of those nights. You only meant to step out for a bit, a friend calls, a song comes on, and next thing you know it&#8217;s the night everyone&#8217;s still talking about weeks later. That&#8217;s the mood this song is chasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desperados says it wants to connect with younger people through music and culture. With this one, it&#8217;s tying its Latin roots to the energy of Nigerian nightlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/7fffa8e8-1d86-478a-abd2-3b0e8a0411b3-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"7fffa8e8-1d86-478a-abd2-3b0e8a0411b3\" class=\"wp-image-10066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/7fffa8e8-1d86-478a-abd2-3b0e8a0411b3-740x1024.jpg 740w, https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/7fffa8e8-1d86-478a-abd2-3b0e8a0411b3-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/isokovibe.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/7fffa8e8-1d86-478a-abd2-3b0e8a0411b3.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans get to join in too. People are being invited to recreate dance moves and share their own take on the song through lifestyle content, so it&#8217;s not just a listen-and-forget release.<br><br>If you like your Afrobeats with a little international spice, yes. Watch the video, play the song, and see if it doesn&#8217;t make you forget your worries for a little while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Young Jonn- Let It Go (Official Music Video)\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aO00lbF-9xo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young Jonn and Desperados mix Latin reggaeton with Afrobeats on &#8216;Let It Go&#8217;, produced by Yung Willis.
