Powerful New Drop: Worship by Asake and DJ Snake Is the Global Anthem You Didn’t See Coming
Released March 20, 2026 | Afrobeats
Some collaborations make sense on paper. This one makes sense in the soul.
WORSHIP by Asake and DJ Snake arrived on Eid al-Fitr — and the timing was no accident. Fresh from performing Umrah in Saudi Arabia, Asake released what can only be described as a very public, very personal act of gratitude. Two minutes and forty-three seconds of it. No filler. No ego. Just faith, wrapped in sound.
The production is cinematic. DJ Snake — born in Paris to Algerian parents, and currently deep in a creative return to his North African roots — trades his trademark heavy trap drops for something more textured and patient. Percussion that breathes. Space that lets Asake’s Fuji-inflected vocal layers move freely. The result is a track that is simultaneously intimate and enormous, the kind of record that sounds equally right in a quiet room and on a festival stage.
Lyrically, Asake anchors everything around a single phrase: Alhamdulillah — “all praise is due to God.” He weaves it through a story of hustle, survival, and arrival, singing, “even in darkness, even in brightness, you are with me.” It is simple. It is earned. And because Asake has lived the journey from Lagos street corners to Grammy nominations to headlining the Red Bull Symphonic as the first African artist ever to do so, every word of it carries weight.
WORSHIP by Asake and DJ Snake is not a typical Afrobeats-meets-EDM crossover record. It does not chase that formula. It builds something quieter and more durable — a bridge between Lagos and Paris, between Fuji and electronic music, between the sacred and the dancefloor. That it manages all of this in under three minutes is, frankly, its own kind of miracle.
This is a precursor to Asake’s forthcoming album MONEY, and if this single is any indication, that project is going to hit very differently.

Quotable Lyrics:
Alhamdulillah
Praise be to God
No matter your condition
Stay close to God
Forget all your loss
Something must go before something come
It is work no be luck
Seeing is believing
You have to trust yourself
And wait for result
Never feel remorse
