Meaning Of “Tested, Approved, and Trusted” by Burna Boy

Opening with so much energy, with just vocals and serenading trumpet sounds right before the beat kicks in, the fifth track on Burna Boy’s new project “I Told Them” is hardly unlovable. As implied by the album’s title, “I Told Them,” Burna’s message is unmistakably conveyed on a number of the songs. The album’s name just indicates that he had already made his prowess known through his lyrics, tweets, and even interviews, in the past, but for some reason, he had gone unnoticed. And now, many years later, everything he had predicted has come true, and on the path of the artist, he seems unsurprised by all the victories he is currently enjoying. And on the artist’s path, he gives off the impression of not being surprised by all the wins he is currently experiencing. The phrase “I Told Them” is simply a reminder of him previously voicing his foresight.

As fans could expect, the “I Told Them” album came with a lot of egotistical themes; otherwise, it wouldn’t be a typical Burna Boy album. The braggadocio on the album extends further from his musical prowess now to his handling of women, being the ladies’ man that he is. This can be heard on “Tested, Approved, and Trusted”.

The single is unquestionably a body rocker and a mood enhancer, fusing an Afro-dancehall vibe with a feel of unconventional-styled R&B. When a video is ultimately put behind it, a song like “Tested, Approved, and Trusted,” has the potential of succeeding even more in a field where the Amapiano sound is dominating the charts. This just goes to show that even if a trendy sound may be in style right now, a song with a mid-tempo sound like “Tested, Approved, and Trusted” may be able to break through during this Amapiano era. Similar to when Ruger’s “Asiwaju” debuted at number one in Nigeria in early 2023.
Relatabitity

Being an adult can be a struggle sometimes, and at some point, a really good breather is needed to clear the mind; one very recommendable one is music and dancing. On Tested, Approved, and Trusted,” Burna found a way to push the message of loosening yourself and giving a dance or two rather than being stuck up, held back, and hesitant.

Baby don’t whyne pon your sit come gimme that,

Jump upon my body like animal,

Dance make you feel like carnival

These lyrics encourage the carefree persona, and the choice of using “carnival” as the adjective further describes the level of carefreeness the artist seeks. The song also champions the nightlife culture, as it touches on not just the aspect of dancing but also booze and pretty women.

Women in general love attention, and one way to win a woman’s heart is by showering her with hype and sweet words. On the song, Burna Boy also found a way to “sweet mouth” his love interest in the most crystal clear yet commercial way. A gorgeous woman with impressive dance moves definitely catches the eye. Burna describes his own experience as wishing to transform into a wall whenever he sees his lady whining on the wall. He then proceeds to shower her with praise, just like a typical Nigerian man would, After he’s gotten a smile from her. This level of humorous exaggeration is what makes Afrobeats music the fun genre that it has always been.

What makes Teated, Approved, and Trusted even more special is the self-hype that adorns the chorus. Evn whale Burna showers his lady with sweet words, he did so without forgetting to blow his own trumpet, letting her know that he is capable of handling her in the best ways possible; hence the simple and straight foward chorus—”Ehen, we, hey.,Tested, approved, and trusted, trusted”.
Delivery

Melodies, energy, incredible bounce, and a simple yet catchy chorus are what make a song a potential hit record.

If Burna is known for one thing, it’s delivering just that. The chorus of “Tested, Approved, and Trusted” is as simple as it gets: an easy repetition of the track’s title a number of times, and that’s it. Quite a genius move, to be honest.

Burna has a history with dancehall, and he has no problem infusing it into whatever sounds he explores. The instrumental for the song was produced by American record producer and songwriter Yeti Beats. It consists of a fusion of Jazz, Dancehall, and Afrobeats, making it appealing not only to audiences across Africa but also in the Caribbean Islands, the current contemporary European party culture, and America, which has finally embraced more diverse sounds stemming from the motherland. This explains Burna Boy’s intention of creating the self-described Afro-fusion genre.
