Omawumi released her debut album, Wonder Woman in November of 2009 after the success of her single ‘In The Music’ and her popularity/success at the IDOLS West Africa competition where she was voted 1st runner up of the competition. Wonder Woman went on to sell 100,000 copies the 1st week and had several hit songs such as Today Na Today, Ma Fi Mi Sere ft. eLDee, Chocolata ft. Naeto C and more.
After a year working hard in the studio, refining her sound and re-loading for bigger impact after the success of the first album, Wonder Woman, the multi-award winning Omawumi is on the road to her new album.
And to hit it off for the new year, she has released a hot new single called If You Ask Me – a deep, touching song telling the story of an abused child.
This song, which deals with child sexual abuse and takes a musical journey through that painful experience, also complements Omawumi’s work as an Ambassador for Project Alert, which advocates on issues of sexual abuse and reproductive health.
If you did not get her Album Wonder Woman, you should buy it now below.
Produced by Cobhams Asuquo

Wow! This girl is definitely going places this year! I have a feeling her new album is gonna be smashing! I just can't get enough of this song! Go girl! 9ja is behind you!
cobhams dey ooze talent mehn…and omawumi no disappoint, i like
cool vibe and a nice song to start the week…
cool vibe to start a new week well. keep it up Empress
Great Producer + Great Artist = Classic Hit
nice one!
Omawumi no dey disappoint
Cobhams Badt guy!
hmnnn This is class………………………………. wow………………….. nigerian music is changing from just stupid alanta beats…. wooooow this is classsssssss……. omawunmi i love you………
this is good at least 4rm a nigerian but am not suprised Oma + cobhams = Gold and she is stepping her game up
which is already ridiculously high compare to other current female artist excluding asa and a few
guessing she wants to give asa a run 4 her money in 2011 which is very possible cos lets face it asa doesnt give a shit about the nigerian market she is in europe 70% of the time
but the production i have to say is not too original
sounds like a rip off of amy winhouses rehab and a song from melanie fiona album
but still a great song with an excellently stled message delivery rated TBG
TOOR BAD GAN
I like the joint but I second the Amy Winehouse link.
not bad, sounds like temptations, 007(theme song), Nneka,and Asa…. na wa oo … well, inspiration has to come from somewhere. nice 1 Cobhams ….
ITS A CLASSIC…. LOVE VIBE BEHIND IT. ALL THE BEST MY DEAR.
cool joint sha…the chick is really steping up her game seriously…nice fusion…she has the voice to even attempt such a track in the first place…
Common guyz? who dey take the stats for sales for naija? na the artist or the marketer?… nice tune
Ok Ive listened now. I should adore this but i dont. lyrics just sound akward as hell. like the story had to be shoehorned in somehow…. style reminds me of Asas new song and not in a great way… but its for a great cause and I reall do respect her for standing for something…
Hit!
Reminds me of Asa's "Be my Man". Cobhams, i worship!
theres a hint of "Rehad" by Amy winehouse.. Right?? Thats not just me??
Nice song tho>>>
Props 2 a soul Sista …Cobhams …U sabi ur work …
Classic!!!…influenced by the swing beats of the seventies, a def production from Cobhams, Omawunmi has definitely stepped it a gear further. Thumbs up sister…Three Gbosa for you.
5 plays later…. i love it lol!!!! scratch all earlier musings
same subject matter as nnekas kangpe too
d irony of dis song if u ask me na who give u belle? is dis 4rm ur personal experience?hahahaha cos u get belle 4 small boy when just wan fuck u run b4 and u hold am down.
alanta is original naija beat.no faking. copy amy wine house u still cannot stand where she is. do not be decieved,if naija acts wants grammy,cpoying their style of music won't get them there. see femi kuti and sunny ade,they didn't do hip hop or rnb to get grammy nominations. even if asa manages to get a grammy nomination,she will never win.see anjelique kidjo?artists learn to better your sound..Highlife will make grammy
2011 bestid ea i have heard. great job girl. keep it goin
i`m french, i don`t anderstand very wel what it saying in this son but i feel it very well! very wonderful voice like christina aguilera! omawumi you are the voice of this year! and a beautiful black woman. i`m proud to be african woman
weldone gyl
