Chike teamed up with Flavour on this beautiful love record titled ‘Hard To Find’.
The song was predominantly in the Igbo language and they both sang about how a good partner isn’t easy to come by. About how hard it is to find a woman that knows how her husband feels even without him speaking up or saying a single word, she already knows how her husband feels. He also sang about how hard it is to find the combination of a man that not only gives his lover money but also treats her right, as some women have partners who give them money and take care of them financially but aren’t good to them, some can be physically abusive or not very romantic.
In this article, I will be translating the lyrics of the song ‘Hard To Find’ by Chike featuring to the English Language.
