Revealing more on his track, Darius admits, "Wizkid, Tems, and Omah Lay are some of my favorite Afrobeats artists right now. This genre is so important, because it’s a part of something much bigger than just music – it's an entire movement happening right in front of our eyes! I feel that music should represent positivity as much as possible and when I listen to Afrobeats that’s what I see portrayed most. "Fill My Cup" isn’t about alcohol or anything that can harm you; it’s about love and filling your cup up with God, knowledge, understanding, peace, love, and everything positive! I wanted to make a feel-good song you can spend summer nights driving around to."
