Gaise Baba Follows Up ‘I Have Decided’ With New Release ‘WANT TO GROW’

In 2025, something significant happened in the Christian and Gospel music space. The hymn ‘I Have Decided’ went viral, not in its usual hymn form, but through an Afro-infused reimagination by Gaise Baba featuring Lawrence Oyor.

With over 180,000 streams across streaming platforms, the song travelled far beyond the usual places where that kind of sound would naturally be played. It carried a familiar confession, but with a fresh sound that made it connect with a wider audience.

The release also made a strong mark on YouTube, with the video becoming the most viewed video in Nigeria in 2025. That alone says a lot about how far the message travelled and how strongly people connected with it.

For many, the song became more than something to enjoy. It became a declaration. I have decided to follow Jesus is not a light statement, and Gaise Baba was able to bring that message into a sound that felt current while still keeping the heart of the hymn.

Now, following that moment, Gaise Baba is back with a new release titled ‘WANT TO GROW’.

Sharing on his Instagram, he wrote:

“We have decided to follow Jesus. Now we WANT TO GROW!”

That statement explains the heart of the song.

‘WANT TO GROW’ is a perfect follow up. After confessing willingly to following Jesus, the next thing is growth. It is one thing to decide to follow Jesus, it is another thing to keep growing in Him, learning His ways, becoming rooted in faith and walking daily in that decision.

That is what Gaise Baba is bringing with this new release. The message is simple, but needed. After the decision comes the journey. After the confession comes the growth.

With ‘I Have Decided’, many were reminded of the call to follow Jesus. Now with ‘WANT TO GROW’, Gaise Baba is pointing to what comes next, a desire to grow deeper, stronger and more intentional in faith.

The new release ‘WANT TO GROW’ is out now.
