Fulham’s Alex Iwobi Releases Second Single: What’s Luv?

Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has released his highly anticipated second single titled “What’s Luv?” following the success of his debut song, “Don’t Shoot”. With over 260 top-flight appearances under his belt, Iwobi has made a significant mark both on the football pitch and in the music industry. Earlier this year, he made history by becoming the first Premier League footballer to have a single released, highlighting the unique intersection of professional sports and music.

In a recent statement, Iwobi expressed his deep passion for music, stating, “Music has always been a passion of mine, and a way for me to express myself away from football.” He emphasized the importance of music as a tool for expression: “Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel.” His journey as a musician is not just about personal expression but also about breaking boundaries in an industry where there’s been no precedent for a player of his stature.

Iwobi is well aware of the leadership role he occupies, especially being a role model for younger generations. “Historically no Premier League player has brought out music with their name and face attached to it, but I like to be different and make a difference,” he remarked. His understanding of the challenges faced by young individuals growing up in difficult environments fuels his desire to inspire. “Growing up in an area of London that is challenging for some people, I know how hard it can be and I’m grateful to have a platform to try and make a difference,” he noted.

Moreover, Iwobi aims to leverage his music as a means to uplift others. “Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music is another way of proving that young people do not have to feel they have to fit in just one box,” he said. This statement resonates powerfully, conveying his commitment to encouraging youth to pursue diverse dreams and aspirations.

In Iwobi’s perspective, his musical endeavors complement his football career rather than distract from it: “I want them to be encouraged to achieve their dreams, to put their focus into positive things. Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football, it helps me switch off.” Through both football and music, Iwobi is carving out a unique identity that blends athletic excellence with artistic expression, paving the way for a new generation of multi-talented athletes.
