Released in March 2023 as part of his project “Eziokwu,” “Declan Rice” gained prominence not only for its catchy rhythm but also for its timely connection to the football world.

The recent surge in streams underscores the dynamic relationship between cultural events and music consumption. Fans’ engagement with the song reflects their enthusiasm for Rice’s achievements and highlights the broader influence of sports figures on contemporary music trends.
