- Yeah! That's my song.
(laughs) That didn't even come to my mind.
Is this my A-game?
Hi. I'm Omah Lay, and I'm going to play
a game of Song Association with Elle.
I'll be given a word,
and I have 10 seconds to sing
or rap that word in a song.
Bro. (laughs) On a scale of 10, I think I'll do 9.
I'm just being fair.
So before we get into the game,
be sure to go check out my new album, Boy Alone.
That's weird, but, you know, that's what we do.
Me. I should know a song with "me".
(sings)
(laughs) That's my song.
Wait, wait. Me and my best friend, Bonnie and Clyde.
[Buzzer]
Somebody should help me please.

- Yes! (sings) Is me and my girlfriend.
That's the song, bro.
I think I might need your help all through
(background laughter)
- (offscreen) Listen, I'm here. I'm here to help.
- [Omah Lay] Love.
No, I don't want to use my song. (laughs)
(hums and snaps)
I'll just use my song.

That's "Attention" by Omah Lay and Justin Bieber
My friendship with Justin Bieber started from, uh,
when I first put out my first project "Get Layd",
he texted me on Instagram and followed me
and that was the beginning of everything.
With the name Justin Bieber, it sounds so hard, right?
But It was the easiest collaboration that I ever had.
I just sent a song, he heard the song,
he loved it, and sent back a verse, and that was it.

"Damn" by Omah Lay.
It's like one of my all time favorite songs of mine.
I come from a different part of Nigeria
called Port Harcourt and that's just a typical
love song for a Port Harcourt person.

cause, like, that's how, as a Port Harcourt boy,
that's how I could express love.

The first time I heard this song
I was like, yeah, I was really, really young.
That was the first time I ever
felt inspired by anything.
Soon as I heard this song, I just,
I didn't even know that was inspiration,
I didn't even know that was me being inspired,
but I just felt really connected.
Every time I think about the first time
that I ever felt music, that was this song
and it was the thing that opened up the whole path
for me to realizing that I have a connection with music.
Yeah, if I have to be fair, I'd say I did slight.
I didn't even know any songs,
couldn't even sing a song completely,
but I'll still give myself a nine, yeah.
Thank you so much for watching me play
Song Association. Love.
