BNXN is no longer trying to prove anything. With “Cutesy,” he’s just showing you how it feels to want someone so badly it borders on sweet insanity.

The single is not your regular Afrofusion drop. This is BNXN in his lover-boy era that’s not loud, not performative, just sensual and self-assured. Produced by Jiggy, “Cutesy” is dipped in early 2000s R&B, polished with laid-back trap, and laced with the kind of vulnerability we don’t hear enough in Nigerian pop. It’s slow. It sticks. It’s a confession disguised as a vibe.

The track doesn’t beg for attention. It knows it has yours. From the opening beat, BNXN is whispering to the part of you that still believes in slow kisses and late-night calls. The lyrics are honest without being preachy, romantic without being corny. It’s the sound of a man who’s letting his guard down without losing his cool.

Shot in London and directed by Troy Roscoe, the eye behind visuals for Burna Boy and FLO, the music video drops alongside the track and leans all the way into the song’s softcore energy. It’s grown. It’s cinematic. And it makes it very clear that this isn’t the same BNXN who came up chasing hits. This is the version of him who makes art when the lights are low and the feelings are loud.

“Cutesy” is the reset button. The signal of a new chapter. BNXN is slowing things down to remind everyone that the heart still has a place in the club and in 2025, that might just be the boldest move of all.

And honestly? It’s about time.
