Lyrics
Intro
Same night, different name
Verse 1
I don't come alive till the sun goes down
Leather on my back and a chain, no crown
Every window in the city is a mirror to me
Every red light is a place I could be
Girl, don't call me in the daytime, I'm a ghost
Call me when the neon's doing the most
Log drum talking and the synths run cold
I was born at midnight, so I'm never getting old
Pre-Chorus
Feel it in the bass, feel it in my chest
After dark is when I do my best
Chorus
After dark, after dark
Everybody moving when the city goes dark
After dark, after dark
Lagos in my blood and London in my heart
After dark! (Dark!) After dark! (Dark!)
Emeka Noir, and the night is my art
Verse 2
Rain on the Benz and the seats are black
Faith in my pocket, I'm never looking back
Sing in the dark till the daylight come
She said "you're too much," I said "I know"
Too much light for the daytime show
Shaker and the rim like a heartbeat race
Every hook I sing is a hand on your face
Pre-Chorus
Feel it in the bass, feel it in my chest
After dark is when I do my best
Chorus
After dark, after dark
Everybody moving when the city goes dark
After dark, after dark
Lagos in my blood and London in my heart
After dark! (Dark!) After dark! (Dark!)
Emeka Noir, and the night is my art
Bridge
If you're scared of the dark... don't look at me
'Cause I'm the dark... and the dark is free
NOW
Final Chorus
After dark, after dark
Everybody moving when the city goes dark
After dark, after dark
Lagos in my blood and London in my heart
After dark! (Dark!) After dark! (Dark!)
Emeka Noir, and the night is my art

EMEKA NOIR is a virtual artist of the SUPERMASSIVE Verse: a high tenor that slides into falsetto, breathy on the verses and full-voice on stadium hooks, over driving log-drum bass, gated 80s synths and Afrobeats shaker patterns. Lagos to London, neon, rain, obsession, fame, faith. AI-performed and disclosed.
