== Background == The song was meant to be released on 4 November 2022 but was postponed to mourn the passing of Davido's son Ifeanyi Adeleke.<ref>{{cite news|author=Ada Osadebe|title=Mavin records releases first song 'Won Da Mo' from all-star album|url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/11/mavin-records-releases-first-song-won-da-mo-from-all-star-album/|location=Lagos, Nigeria|accessdate=6 December 2024|date=9 November 2022|newspaper=Vanguard}}</ref>
== Critical reception == Yinoluwa Olowofoyeku of ''Afrocritik'', in a review of ''Chapter X'', said the song was "rife with the kind of infectious energy that was the signature of Don Jazzy's production style." He specifically commended Rema, Magixx, and Ayra Starr for their work on the track, and praised its "pulsing kick drums, numerous rolls and flourishes," as well as the "weeping" strings and "angelic" pads.<ref>{{cite web|author=Yinoluwa Olowofoyeku|title=Mavin Records' "Chapter X" is a Showcase of the Current Mavin Class|url=https://www.afrocritik.com/mavin-records-chapter-x-current-mavin-class/|website=Afrocritik|accessdate=6 December 2024|date=30 December 2022}}</ref> Writers for ''The Native'' magazine shared varied perspectives on "Won Da Mo." Uzoma acknowledged Andre Vibez's "astute fusion of sounds" on the track, blending elements of rock and amapiano, although noting that the song was not a personal favorite due to its complexity. Daniel praised the production for its combination of rock guitars and rhythmic percussions, describing it as "perfection" even before the vocals began. While "Amina" was Wonu's standout production on the project, she highlighted how Vibez's work on the record seamlessly brought together kicks and snares to create a melodic cohesion.<ref name="The Native">{{cite magazine|author=Damilola Animashaun|title=Our First Impressions of Mavin Records' 'Chapter X'|url=https://thenativemag.com/first-impressions-mavin-chapter-x/|magazine=The Native|accessdate=6 December 2024|date=2 December 2022}}</ref>
