Mera Owili has been steadily carving out her place in Nigeria’s gospel music scene through worship,
ministry, and songwriting. Hailing from Okodi in Bayelsa State, she grew up surrounded by the culture
and spirituality of the Niger Delta, influences that continue to shape her music today. Over the years, she
has developed a style rooted in congregational worship while embracing contemporary gospel sounds.
With each release, her focus remains simple: creating songs that people can return to in moments of
prayer, reflection, and gratitude.
Her latest single, “We Worship You,” featuring Steve Hills, is built around a shared expression of
reverence. The song opens by drawing attention to God's presence in creation and everyday life, moving
through images that feel familiar and accessible. Mera Owili and Steve Hills deliver the message with
warmth and restraint, allowing the lyrics to communicate a faith that exists beyond church walls and
formal gatherings. The writing stays simple and direct, making the song easy to connect with from the
very first listen.
At the heart of the record is a repetitive chorus designed for participation. Rather than relying on complex
arrangements or elaborate writing, “We Worship You” creates room for listeners to engage personally
with its message. The production supports this approach with gentle melodies and steady instrumentation
that allow the vocals to remain front and centre. Whether sung in a congregation, during personal
devotion, or in quiet reflection, the song carries the same invitation: to offer worship with sincerity.
“I wanted a song that anyone can sing without thinking too much about it, just something honest you can
say to God,” Mera Owili says.
“We Worship You” is now available on all streaming platforms via ONErpm.
