This past May, Kah-Lo was boarding a flight in Australia, casually checking her socials as she waited to board. She clocked that one of her most recent posts – a clip from the music video for her March release “In This Bih,'” a collab with British producer Chris Lorenzo – had a few thousand views, and then the plane took off. When it landed a few hours later, she got on her phone again and saw that this same video had been viewed more than half a million times.“I thought it was an Instagram bug,” she says.It wasn’t. Instead, the Nigerian singer/songwriter/producer was going viral as “In This Bih’” took off. On May 21, Shazam announced that it was the most Shazam’d track of EDC Las Vegas 2026, and just over four months after its release, the club anthem now has 13.9 million global on-demand streams, according to Luminate. More than one person in the comment sections of Kah-Lo’s posts about the track call it nothing less than the song of the summer. Diplo called it “dance song of the year.”

This isn’t Kah-Lo’s first time clocking a hit. “Rinse & Repeat,” a collab with English producer Riton, became a major club hit in 2016, ultimately generating 73.6 million streams and earning Kah-Lo and Riton a 2017 Grammy nomination for best dance/electronic recording. That smash was followed by the success of 2022’s “Fake ID,” which was also made with Riton and has to date generated 568.1 million on-demand streams. (This number includes streams for both the original and a remix.)
