Still soaking in the magic of ‘Iyanu‘? Now you’ve got to watch the official music video for the animated series’ theme song, You Are, performed by Grammy-nominated singer Yemi Alade. Fondly known as “Mama Africa,” Yemi brings her vibrant vocals and rich cultural roots to this empowering track, celebrating the strength, resilience and spirit of Yoruba heritage.
Inspired by the superhero journey at the heart of ‘Iyanu,’ the song beautifully captures a young girl’s path to self-discovery, courage and destiny, all set in a world steeped in mythology and history.
The music video brings the story to life, spotlighting the heroine Iyanu in action-packed scenes filled with ancestral symbols, divine energy and striking visuals. It draws a deeper connection between the sound and the soul of the series — an epic fantasy grounded in Nigerian culture and lore.
