Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Pheelz teams up with Rii and Tiwa Savage for the live version of “I’M OK,” bringing a more intimate performance to one of the reflective songs from their A Rii Set collaboration. The live rendition is featured on A Rii Set (Live).
Pheelz and Tiwa Savage Connect on “I’M OK”
“I’M OK (Live)” takes a more reflective direction than some of the upbeat performances surrounding it. Pheelz uses the song to explore everyday pressure, uncertainty and the importance of finding perspective when things become difficult.
The original “I’M OK” also deals with emotional struggles, stress, financial pressure and the effort to remain positive despite challenging moments.
For the live version, Tiwa Savage joins Pheelz, adding her distinctive vocal presence to the performance. Their combination gives the song an emotional quality while maintaining the melodic Afrobeats foundation associated with Pheelz’s music.
Rii Remains Part of the Sound
Rii is credited alongside Pheelz on the performance, continuing the creative partnership at the center of A Rii Set (Live).
The project presents selected songs in a live format, allowing the performances to feel more open and vocal-focused than their studio counterparts. A Rii Set (Live) includes five performances, with collaborations involving Didi B, Flavour, Tiwa Savage and Young Jonn.
“I’M OK (Live)” sits at the center of that tracklist, following “ALL NIGHT LONG (Live)” and “STEPPIN (Live)” before “OBLEE (Live)” and “GONGO ASO (Live).”
A More Personal Side of Pheelz
One of the strongest elements of “I’M OK” is its honesty.
Rather than presenting an uncomplicated picture of success, the song acknowledges that difficult moments can exist alongside gratitude and ambition. Pheelz’s delivery keeps the message conversational, while Tiwa Savage helps reinforce the emotional side of the performance.
The live arrangement gives the vocals additional space, allowing listeners to focus more closely on the words and interaction between the performers. Current coverage has also highlighted the song’s reflective character and the chemistry between Pheelz and Tiwa Savage.
