Davido Teams Up with NO11 for Infectious New Single “Gimme Dat Ting”
Davido continues his reign as an Afrobeats titan with the release of “Gimme Dat Ting,” a high-octane collaboration featuring emerging talent NO11. The track delivers exactly what you’d expect from the DMW boss—pure, unadulterated dance floor fuel. Instead of bending to whatever’s trending on social media this week, Davido and his collaborator lean into the timeless, body-moving foundations that have kept Afrobeats thriving for decades. This is music built for movement, designed to pack clubs and keep feet shuffling until dawn.
Producer JJAY crafts a backdrop that’s deceptively simple yet devastatingly effective. The production centers around a thunderous bassline that commands attention from the first note, while sparkling synth layers provide the perfect melodic lift. There’s a deliberate spaciousness to the arrangement that allows both artists room to breathe and shine. Credit goes to mixing engineer Leandro “Dro” Hidalgo for delivering a final product that hits with crystal-clear precision—every percussive element and vocal flourish cuts through with stadium-ready punch.
Thematically, “Gimme Dat Ting” doesn’t reinvent the wheel, exploring nightlife excess, magnetic attraction, and the playful back-and-forth of modern courtship. Davido anchors the record with his signature gravelly vocals and commanding presence, setting the tone from the jump. But the real revelation here is NO11, who doesn’t just hold his own—he elevates the entire track. His smooth, melodic approach provides the perfect counterbalance to Davido’s assertive delivery, and his hook work is genuinely infectious. What could have been a standard “superstar plus up-and-comer” formula instead feels like a genuine partnership, with NO11 proving he belongs in the spotlight. For Davido’s 2026 output, it’s another easy victory. For NO11, it’s a career-defining moment that should open countless doors.
