Although it has "religious-leaning" lyrics, "Jerusalema" is an upbeat[1] disco-house track[2][9][4] containing "deep", "spiritual",[5] gospel lyrics.[6][13] Lyrically, as noted by OkayAfrica's Rufaro Samanga, "it speaks about Jerusalem being the home of many religious believers". The remix sees Burna Boy incorporating his signature Afrobeats style,[7] singing part of his verse in isiZulu, while emphasizing the unity of African artists.[13]
