Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi has expanded his creative pursuits, releasing a second single titled “What’s Luv?”.

This follows the success of his debut track “Don’t Shoot”, marking Iwobi as the first Premier League footballer to enter the music scene with his name and face attached to his music.

Known for his skill on the pitch with over 260 top-flight appearances, Iwobi is now sharing his off-field passion with fans and listeners.

“Music has always been a passion of mine,” Iwobi shared. “It’s a way for me to express myself away from football. Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel.”

Iwobi, who grew up in a challenging area of London, said he wants his music to inspire young people to focus on positive goals, showing them they don’t need to fit into one mold. Through his community work and his creative projects, Iwobi aims to provide a message of resilience and self-expression.

“Growing up, I know how hard it can be,” he said. “Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music shows young people they can pursue different passions. Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football; it actually helps me switch off.”

With “What’s Luv?”, Iwobi continues to encourage a positive narrative for youth, using his platform as both a Premier League player and a musician to inspire others to follow their dreams and make productive choices.
