Davido and Chioma are already married, and he still went down on one knee. The Afrobeats star proposes to his wife all over again in the newly released video for “Already Falling,” and the camera makes sure nobody misses the ring.
The song sits on ORIADÉ, his sixth studio album. Casting Chioma in a love song is a familiar move for Davido, but staging a proposal on camera after the wedding gives this one a playful twist.
The couple made things official in June 2024 with a lavish wedding in Lagos. Fans had been calling it “CHIVIDO 2024” long before the big day arrived.
That celebration came after years of public romance, rough patches and reconciliations, all followed closely by a huge online audience. Few relationships in Nigerian pop culture have been tracked as obsessively as this one.
Long before “Already Falling,” there was “Assurance.” Davido dropped that track in 2018 as a birthday gift to Chioma, and its video turned her into a household name across the country.
So the new clip lands as a callback of sorts. Seven years on, he is back to putting his partner at the heart of the visuals, this time with a ring instead of a birthday surprise.
The pair also lived through a devastating loss in 2022, when their son Ifeanyi died at their Lagos home. Davido stepped back from public life for a stretch afterward, and his 2023 album was widely read as a return shaped by that grief.
Against that backdrop, a lighthearted, swooning video carries extra weight for longtime followers. It shows a couple who have been through the worst of it choosing to put joy on screen.
Not everyone reads grand celebrity gestures the same way, though. For some listeners, putting a marriage front and center in a music video is pure sweetness, while others see it as a smart way to get eyes on a new record.
Both readings can be true at once. Davido has always understood that his personal life and his music feed each other, and his relationship with Chioma has been part of his story for most of his career.
He has also kept a steady release pace lately, following his 2023 project with 5ive in 2025. ORIADÉ now steps in as the next chapter, and “Already Falling” sets a clear romantic tone for it.
Fans will now be watching to see which ORIADÉ track gets the next visual, and if Chioma turns up in that one too.
