Kelvyn Boy, an Afrobeats musician, says he’s pleasantly surprised by how quickly his new hit, “Down Flat,” has gone viral.
Kelvyn Boy told Joy Prime’s Ibrahim Ben Bako that the song took him less than 20 minutes to write, and that it is the fastest song he has ever written.
As a result, he’s grateful that, despite the little amount of time he spent on the song, it’s gone viral and made it onto music charts throughout the world.
“Down Flat was made in less than like 20 minutes, that is my fastest song. I think the song came from above and it’s doing its thing, because the budget for the video, the energy, when we started promoting it was low,” he said.
Kelvyn Boy noted that while he always hopes for success with every song he writes, this one has taken on a life of its own.
“I see this coming every time when I release a song but not like this. I drop a song it takes time to blow but this one, it’s just three months old and the things the song is doing each and every day, I wake up and I see different things.”
Kelvyn Boy released “Down Flat” in January to rave reviews. The song later began trending on TikTok after one dancer created a choreography for it. This took the song to new levels.
When Billboard introduced its own Afrobeats Songs Chart on Tuesday, March 29, Down Flat was one of the two Ghanaian songs that made the cut.
“Down Flat” debuted at number 22 on the Billboard chart. The song is presently ranked number 34 on the chart.
