Chiké - Hard to Find ft. Flavour (Official Video)
Hard to Find Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
The song "Hard to Find" by Chike featuring Flavour was released with its official video on July 15, 2022. The track explores the profound connection between two individuals who recognize the rarity and value of their partner. The lyrics convey a sense of moving past the initial dating phase, specifically mentioning two years since meeting and one year of dating, towards a readiness for lifelong commitment. The singer expresses a clear intention to marry the partner, viewing them as someone already destined to be a "wifey."
The depth of this connection is highlighted through the description of complementary personalities, where one partner's "hot" temperament is balanced by the other's ability to "cool temper," and one's "cold" state is met with the other's "fire." This suggests a harmonious relationship built on mutual support and understanding. The core message is encapsulated in the repeated phrase emphasizing how difficult it is to find such a person, comparing them to something not easily seen or found "for road." The lyrics use Igbo phrases to further praise the partner, describing them as a woman who knows her husband's heart and a man who is handsome and provides, both qualities deemed hard to come by.
The song further portrays the partner as an answered prayer and everything the singer desires. There's a sense of wanting to showcase this special relationship, suggesting that the partner is so remarkable that they give others "something to talk about." This public acknowledgment underscores the pride and admiration felt for the chosen individual, reinforcing the idea of their exceptional nature. The lyrics also touch on the understanding between the couple, stating that the partner understands the singer's thoughts and feelings even before they are expressed, signifying a deep emotional and mental connection.
The theme of rarity applies to both partners in the song's narrative. The woman is valued for her deep understanding and qualities ("she get am for body"), while the man is valued for his provision ("I get am for money"). This mutual appreciation for specific, desirable traits reinforces the central idea that finding a partner with such qualities is a difficult endeavor. The search described in the lyrics emphasizes the effort undertaken to find someone who truly understands one's inner self.
The concept of finding a partner of great worth and character is a theme found in various wisdom traditions. For instance, in scripture, Proverbs 31:10 poses the question, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies." This verse resonates with the sentiment expressed in "Hard to Find," where the partner is depicted as incredibly valuable and not easily discovered, akin to a rare treasure.
