It serves as the lead single from their joint extended play Real, Vol. 1, which was released on 23 January 2026.

Background Wizkid and Asake had previously collaborated on two occasions prior to the release of "Jogodo". Asake featured on "MMS", a track from Asake's debut album Lungu Boy, while Wizkid featured Asake on "Bad Girl", included on his 2024 project Morayo.Interest in the joint project was confirmed publicly in early December 2025, when both artists appeared together in an Apple Music Radio interview during which Wizkid announced that a collaborative extended play titled Real was in preparation. Nigerian-American DJ Michael Adeyinka, known as DJ Tunez, subsequently posted a short audio excerpt from one of the project's tracks on his social media account, drawing further attention to the forthcoming release.
Composition The song is sung primarily in a combination of Yoruba and Nigerian Pidgin. Music in Africa described the production as featuring prominent percussion and brass elements within an Afrobeats framework, with Wizkid and Asake alternating verses in what the publication characterised as a measured vocal exchange. Premium Times described the lyrical content as centred on attraction, desire, and lifestyle, and noted that Wizkid delivered what the review characterised as clean, steady vocals while Asake incorporated local dialect. BusinessDay described the song's title as derived from a term for intoxication or being under the influence, a theme reflected in the song's lyrics and production.
Release The song was released on 16 January 2026 as the lead single from the joint extended play Real, Vol. 1. The EP, which comprised four tracks — "Jogodo", "Turbulence", "Iskolodo", and "Alaye" — was subsequently released on 23 January 2026.
