Mustiboy Releases Heartfelt Tribute Single “Missing Bird” in Memory of His Late Mother.

Nigerian reggae artist Mustiboy, under Baby Boys Records (BBR), today announces the release of his deeply personal new single, “Missing Bird.” The soulful track serves as a moving dedication to his mother, who passed away in August 2014 in Lagos, Nigeria.

Written and performed by Mustiboy, “Missing Bird” captures the quiet ache of a son reflecting on the years he never got to share with his mother. Through intimate verses and a soaring chorus, the song explores themes of regret, enduring love, and the hope that she has found peace. The lyrics paint vivid images of silence heavy “like harmattan dust,” empty chairs, and a heart that still follows her wherever she rests.

The single arrives with striking cover art that features Mustiboy seated thoughtfully against a warm Lagos sunset, a lone bird silhouette soaring into the golden-orange sky — a visual symbol of the song’s central metaphor.

Mustiboy shared:
“This song is my letter to Mama. I never got the chance to be the son she deserved to see grow. I just hope she can feel the love I’m still sending up to her.”

“Missing Bird” continues Mustiboy’s tradition of honest, emotionally resonant reggae rooted in real life and Nigerian experience. Fans can expect the same raw vulnerability that has defined his previous work, now elevated by the quiet strength of a son’s farewell.
