Record-breaking Ghanaian-American artist MOLIY has unveiled a high-energy VEVO performance of her latest single, “Backie,” bringing the explosive Dominica Bouyon-inspired anthem to life with undeniable charisma and star power. Available now across all streaming platforms, the performance further cements MOLIY’s status as one of Afropop’s most dynamic global voices.
Released on December 26 just in time for Detty December and New Year celebrations, “Backie” has quickly become a club favorite, and the VEVO performance captures its full kinetic energy. With commanding stage presence and unmistakable vocals, MOLIY transforms the performance into a vibrant celebration of Caribbean club culture, effortlessly matching the song’s fast-paced rhythm and bass-heavy groove.
Produced by internationally acclaimed hitmaker BRGZ (Central Cee, Davido, Omah Lay), “Backie” draws directly from Dominica Bouyon rhythms, blending rapid-fire percussion with MOLIY’s ethereal vocal delivery. The VEVO performance highlights her unique ability to fuse global sounds while maintaining an authentic, dance-driven core that resonates across cultures and continents.
“‘Backie’ is my hype-girl anthem: fast, fun, and full of Bouyon energy,” MOLIY shares. “It’s that moment you’re breaking your back on the dance floor with your girls hyping you up and everyone is feeling themself.” That exact energy radiates throughout the VEVO performance, making it a visual extension of the record’s carefree, celebratory spirit.
The VEVO release caps off a landmark year for MOLIY. Her viral smash “Shake It To The Max (FLY) – Remix” became the fifth most Shazamed song in the world, topped Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart for 22 consecutive weeks, and was crowned Billboard’s No. 1 U.S. Afrobeats Song of 2025. The track also earned widespread critical acclaim, landing on year-end best-of lists from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Complex.
Over the past year, MOLIY has expanded her global footprint with standout performances at the MTV VMAs, BET Awards, and Wireless Festival (London), and was recently honored as Hitmaker of the Year at Billboard Africa’s inaugural African Power Players event in Johannesburg.
“Backie” follows her collaborative hit “Body Go” with South African pop sensation Tyla, a genre-blending anthem that merges R&B, Pop, Amapiano, and Afrobeats into a bold soundtrack for girls’ nights worldwide.
With her VEVO performance of “Backie,” MOLIY once again proves she is not just riding the global Afropop wave — she is helping shape it, one electrifying performance at a time
