In Love is a single from Omawumi — full name Omawumi Megbele — released July 11, 2025 under ONErpm. Produced by Spellz and written by Omawumi alongside Benjamin Obadje, the song runs 2 minutes 40 seconds and marks her first solo release since Love You Well with Yemi Alade in 2023. She has built one of the most respected vocal reputations in Nigerian music over two decades — from her breakout on Project Fame West Africa, through Afrobeats crossover hits like Me Ke with Kizz Daniel, to the highlife-influenced Love Deep High Life album in 2021.
In Love is a different kind of record from what her earlier work offered. Where she once channelled urgency and fierce emotion, this is slow, reflective and soft. The song opens with an intimate line — "You know it's a long time I've been feeling your love / Hurry up and get me, I'll be on my way home" — and it sets the tone for a record about love arriving after a long wait, after heartbreak had been the more familiar experience. The production from Spellz is unhurried and warm, leaving space for the vocal to carry the emotional weight without distraction. Omawumi described the song as about love that finds you when you least expect it, after you have finally made peace with yourself. That kind of earned love has a different quality to it, and the record sounds like someone who knows the difference.
