Expectations run high whenever King Promise and Mr Eazi link up. Their collaborative chemistry spans multiple releases. ‘That Way’ arrives as the second single from their upcoming joint album, See What We’ve Done. The album drops 11 March. Here is the detail that makes this a genuine talking point: King Promise and Mr Eazi’s That Way interpolates the Backstreet Boys’ iconic ‘I Want It That Way.’

Nostalgia Meets Afropop

Jae5 and Guiltybeatz produced the track. Both carry impeccable track records. The song takes the emotional DNA of one of pop’s most recognised melodies. It reimagines it through a Highlife-infused Afrobeats lens. Mr Eazi explained the inspiration directly. The Backstreet Boys and Westlife formed part of every West African childhood soundtrack. Once he heard the interpolation over the beat, the decision came instantly.

King Promise glides with his signature silky delivery. Mr Eazi’s relaxed, conversational flow creates the contrast. Together they land on effortless romance, luxury and genuine connection. This is soft-life music at its finest. King Promise spoke about the confidence it took to sample such a classic. The cleared sample confirmed the ambition paid off.

A Joint Album on the Horizon

See What We’ve Done follows their 2025 hit of the same name. That track enjoyed a strong commercial run during the northern summer. With the full album confirmed for March, ‘That Way’ hints at a project built on melody, nostalgia and breezy Afropop. This duo knows how to make music that travels well. Keep your playlists ready.
