    Mahakwe has released the new Afrobeats single “Overloading,” an introspective track about pressure, exhaustion and disconnection.

    The song follows a night spent working for money as fatigue and emotional strain begin to build. The repeated line “I feel heavy” becomes a central phrase, reflecting the physical and emotional weight described throughout the track.

    Performed in Pidgin English, “Overloading” focuses on the experience of carrying personal struggles while continuing to push forward. The restrained production keeps the focus on Mahakwe’s vocals and the song’s themes of fatigue, vulnerability and persistence.
