“Wants & Needs” finds Cikami at his most vulnerable, opening old wounds to tell the story of a first love that left deep marks. The new single blends ATL–Memphis trap rhythms with soft R&B vocals, creating a sound that’s both rhythmically sharp and emotionally tender. It captures the confusion of loving someone who doesn’t love you back, the fight to move on, and the difficult journey of learning the difference between what you want and what you truly need.

Produced by Wuski and Chris Kenter, the track brings a fresh edge to Cikami’s rising catalogue. The Copenhagen-based artist leans fully into confession, sharing an experience he has never spoken about publicly, a moment where longing turned into heartbreak, and heartbreak into self-reflection. His repeated line “Said you loved me, but I guess I was mistaken” lands with quiet intensity, echoing a feeling that many listeners will instantly recognize.

“Wants & Needs” marks Cikami’s fourth release of 2025, continuing his streak of genre-bending singles while deepening the emotional core of his artistry. Together with Canadian producer Wuski, he builds a track that carries both longing and movement, pairing intimate storytelling with production that’s impossible to stand still to.

It’s heartfelt, rhythmic, and unmistakably real, a moment of honesty that shows exactly why Cikami is quickly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in Scandinavian R&B and trap.
