• Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman is a Nigerian singer-songwriter who performs under the name of Oxlade. He dabbles with different genres of music, including Afro-fusion, R&B and alternative pop.
  
  Oxlade first gained recognition when Drake posted a screenshot on his Instagram story of him listening to Oxlade's song "Away." The following month, "Away" came in at #23 on Rolling Stone's list of the 50 Best Songs of 2020.
  
  Oxlade premiered "Ku Lo Sa" on A Colors Show, a creative music platform that showcases outstanding talent from around the world. Colors uploaded his energetic performance on June 10, 2022 on their YouTube channel. It became Oxlade's first international hit.
• "Ku Lo Sa" is a romantic love song containing a mixture of English and Pidgin English lyrics. Oxlade sings of being smitten by his love interest and he wants her to "pull over Ku Lo Sa." Ku Lo Sa is a Yoruba word (the language of the singer's people in Southwestern Nigeria), which is like "closer" in English.
• "Ku Lo Sa" was a turning point for Oxlade, launching him into the spotlight just when he needed it most.
  
  "The funny thing is, everything could've turned out so differently if I didn't trust my instinct," he told Wonderland magazine. "The night before we recorded ColorsxStudios, I switched my performance track from 'Arabambi' to 'Ku Lo Sa.' Everyone was against the last minute change but my spirit told me this was the right choice and look at where we are today. This song changed my life!"
