"Energy (Stay Far Away)" is a song by English grime artist Skepta and Nigerian musician Wizkid.[1] It initially debuted at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart, but reached a peak of number 59 following the release of its music video in September. The song spent a total of 15 weeks on the UK Singles chart.[2] It has been certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Pulse Nigeria called it a "groovy song which has a message for anyone with a negative vibe" and a "perfect anthem for clubs".[3] HotNewHipHop called it an "underrated banger" and "just the record to seal Skepta's ambitious switch to the big stage".[4]
The music video for the song was directed by Meji Alabi and features Skepta and Wizkid partying on a beach in Lagos, Nigeria.[5] It pays homage to Fela Kuti.[3] The Fader magazine said the video was full of "palm trees, white beaches, beautiful people, and good vibes",[6] while Hypebeast considered it to be flaunting Nigeria's "enticing culture".[7]
