Today, June 2, 2023, Burna Boy drops his brand-new single, Sittin’ On Top Of The World, just 24 hours before his sold-out London Stadium concert. This track marks his first official release of 2023, and in it, he samples Brandy’s classic hit On Top Of The World, following in the footsteps of his 2022 single Last Last, where he sampled Toni Braxton.
Last Last quickly became an international sensation, featured as one of the lead singles from Burna Boy’s sixth album Love, Damini. The song spent multiple weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 44, and sold over a million units in the U.S., earning Burna Boy his second RIAA platinum plaque after his 2018 hit YE.
Brandy, known for her multi-platinum albums Brandy, Never Say Never, and Full Moon, has earned the title "The Vocal Bible" thanks to her unique tone, intricate runs, and ability to harmonize effortlessly. The iconic singer, songwriter, actress, and producer has influenced countless artists across R&B, pop, gospel, and even Broadway.
In Sittin' On Top Of The World, Burna Boy takes inspiration from one of his favorite childhood songs, Brandy’s On Top Of The World, bringing a fresh twist to the classic track and taking his sound to new heights.
