A total tribute to the athlete, DEJA brings strength and perseverance in her incredibly addicting new single, titled “Mo Farah”. The title shares the name of the British-Somali long-distance runner, who is currently readying himself for his imminent race this September, the Big Half, which is set to be his final race before retiring, and we’re pretty sure Mo Farah would not only feel honoured by being the song’s focus but also would be playing it on repeat as he trains – and we definitely wouldn’t blame him (it reminds us of when it was discovered that Michelle Obama listened to Fifth Harmony’s “BO$$”). The release of this new single acts as the follow-up to DEJA’s previous single, “Fine Fine Girl”.
DEJA, an artist whose musical journey has been marked by a relentless evolution and an unwavering commitment to innovation, stands at the forefront of creative exploration. With an ever-growing fanbase and endorsements from industry veterans, DEJA’s remarkable acclaim extends across esteemed platforms including Ones To Watch, Clash, Notion, Complex, and many more, all lauding her artistic finesse.

Written by Corey Lindsay-Keay & Oladapo Onyemechi Ajayi, with Believve acting as the Producer, “Mo Farah” is an R&B mainstream-pop mixture of a song with DEJA completely shining with her gorgeous vocals. Addictive and strengthening, DEJA wants some loving or she’s going to be straight out the door, no matter how much her family thinks that her partner did great – this spreads self-empowerment and positivity in oneself. Believve impresses with the production side of things, running an awesome hook that we’re sure Mo Farah would absolutely love, and an afrobeats-inspired drop that brings some dance grooves to the iconic track. Impressing to no end, DEJA stuns vocally and sonically with “Mo Farah”, delivering a track we’d happily listen to, on repeat, for the rest of the day.
