Iwobi’s fellow footballers Chuba Akpom and Medy Elito also featured on “Don’t Shoot”.
The former Arsenal midfielder’s second track is described as “a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro–Swing mixed with Rap”.
For the song, Iwobi collaborated with pal SPKS and MBrown.
The Nigeria international has described music as an ideal outlet for him off the pitch.
He said: “Music has always been a passion of mine, and a way for me to express myself away from football, music is a great tool and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel.
“Historically no Premier League player has brought out music with their name and face attached to it, but I like to be different and make a difference.
“Growing up in an area of London that is challenging for some people, I know how hard it can be and I’m grateful to have a
platform to try and make a difference.
“I don’t want young people to feel they have to fit in just one box. I want them to be encouraged to achieve their dreams, to put their focus into positive things.

“Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football, it actually helps me switch off.
“I will always work hard and try to improve in my sport, but this is a good use of my spare time.”

One wrote: “Great retirement plan. And it’s not nonsense.”
