Empire Mates Entertainment boss and singer, Banky W, has released a new song titled “Running After U.”

The meaningful song celebrates married couples and life after the whole glitz and glamour of the wedding day.

Talking about the song, Banky W says:

“Do you ever think about the fact that there aren’t too many celebrations of Married life on Music Television? There’s a lot of hooking up and twerking, and a lot of dating, consummating and flirting… and there are a WHOLE lot of proposals-and-wedding day music videos.. but there aren’t too many celebrations of the married life that comes afterwards. We just kind of, focus so much on the wedding day itself, and assume, hope and pray that they lived happily ever after.

In the “Running After U” song, I tried to tell the story of how my wife and I got together. But 24 hours before we shot the video, I decided I wanted to use the video to celebrate the whole journey of marriage.

“And so I drastically altered the original casting plans last minute and called up all my married friends who were in town, to come hang out on set, have some fun together, and celebrate the decision to attempt this thing called life together.

“The journey of marriage isn’t always easy, but with the right person, every step ends up worth it.
