Ajii and Wé Ani, two powerhouse vocalists who made waves on American Idol, have joined forces to release “Forget About You.” This dynamic track blends the rich warmth of their voices with an irresistible Jersey club beat, creating a perfect mix of energy and soul.

“‘Forget About You’ is a deeply personal song for me, one that captures the battle between chasing my dreams and letting go of someone who once meant everything,” says Ajii, who is carving out his space in the music industry with his debut studio album.

Ajii first gained recognition on Season 22 of American Idol. His audition performance of “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims captivated the judges from the very first note. Meanwhile, Wé Ani reached the top 5 in the previous season of American Idol and was the second runner-up on The Voice Season 11. Wé Ani’s journey as an artist began long before her time on television. She refined her craft at the prestigious Harlem School of the Arts, where she developed her distinctive style and vocal technique. By the age of 16, she had already won four times at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York, an early testament to her exceptional talent. 

Wé Ani’s contribution to the song is essential, bringing not only her undeniable talent but also the perfect contrast to Ajii’s style. Her delicate yet powerful vocal textures elevate the track, making it a beautifully layered and emotionally charged anthem. With their combined artistry and deeply personal storytelling, Ajii and Wé Ani bring “Forget About You” to life as a song that resonates with anyone caught between nostalgia and moving forward.

“The day after a breakup is truly the worst because you’re just waiting to not feel or remember anything about the relationship,” Wé Ani shares. “It’s heavy and heartbreaking. I promise that was not the thought I had going into the session with Ajii, though! We were bouncing around ideas when Alex played this jersey club-type beat. Ajii and I looked at each other like, “YOOO!” The juxtaposition between the sad reality of a breakup and the upbeat rhythm catches you, so we ran with it.”

“Forget About You” follows Ajii’s previous hits “Rich Man” and “GAHDAYUM”, both released under BMG Nashville/19 Recordings. Once a security guard, receptionist, and assistant at a senior care facility—while fronting a struggling nu-metal band—Ajii is now making his mark in the tough, ever-evolving music industry.
