Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has revealed that she sometimes forgets the lyrics to her own songs while performing, but has developed a simple way to recover without disrupting her shows.
The Afrobeats star said that whenever she forgets a line during a performance, she hands the microphone to the audience and asks them to sing along.
“When I forget my lyrics while performing on stage, I just give the microphone to the crowd and tell them, ‘Let me hear you sing,’” Savage said in an interview with MTV.
According to the singer, the strategy gives her enough time to recall the lyrics while the audience continues singing the song.
The moment can also become part of the performance, particularly when fans know the lyrics and confidently take over the vocals.
Savage said the approach allows her to recover from the occasional slip while creating a stronger connection between her and the audience.
The singer’s revelation highlights how live performers can turn unexpected moments on stage into engaging experiences for fans.
