Essence (Remix) is a song by Wizkid featuring Justin Bieber and Tems. It was released on August 13, 2021, and appeared as a single and the last track from the deluxe edition of WizKid’s album, Made In Lagos. The original song only features Tems and appears as a single on the original version of the album.
At the time, DJ Alizay was the one who put his mentee DJ Tay James on to “Essence.” He was like, “This is the song of the summer. This is what’s being played at all cookouts. Everyone loves this record.”
Justin’s crew were on their way to a birthday vacation weekend for Allison Kaye. While on the plane over, Tay was like, “Yo, bro, this [‘Essence’] is one of the hottest records. I feel like you should listen to this.”
“I played it and instantly he loved it. That became the song of the weekend. We played it nonstop. One of the guys who happened to be on the vacation with us was Mike G, Wizkid’s agent. We went right to work, like, “Hey, I think Justin wants to hop on this, let’s make sure Wiz is cool with this. Let’s make sure we get Wiz’s blessings.”
And that’s how the smash hit was made!
