BJ Sam keeps his momentum rolling with “Rise Up, Don’t Give Up,” an uplifting global pop anthem.

The Nigerian singer-songwriter and producer assembled an international lineup for this single, which arrived in July 2026. Christos Adamidis, Katsuya Mouri, Shonnie Murrell, and Amelia Power all contribute to the cross-cultural collaboration. English and Japanese passages reinforce the song’s borderless character while percussion and vocals from Murrell add depth.

BJ Sam’s journey began in a classical mass choir in Ibadan at age 15. Born in Akwa Ibom, he has since built a career blending African rhythms with pop and world music. His work under Rehegoo Music Group includes previous singles like “Wedding Day (Bride and Groom Song)” and “M’bifé.” “Rise Up, Don’t Give Up” follows that pattern of multilingual, globally minded releases.

The message lands with genuine weight because it avoids empty slogans. Instead, the track leans on resilience and self-belief without overselling the optimism. That restraint makes the encouragement feel earned rather than forced.
