"Emergency" is a song recorded by Nigerian record producer WizzyPro for his debut studio album, Lord of the Sounds (2016). It was released on 2 November 2013 and features vocal appearances from Nigerian musicians Patoranking, Runtown and Skales. While each artist solely wrote their own respective verse, WizzyPro served as the track's executive producer. The song was viewed favourably among several music critics, most of which noted "Emergency" as a standout track. The single won the "Best Collaboration" category at the 2014 edition of The Headies. An accompanying music video for "Emergency" was released on 18 January 2014 and features the four singers performing the song to the public while dancing and singing in a street.
Development of the song first began in WizzyPro's personal recording studio. According to Pulse's Joey Akan, despite recruiting several "young guns" for the original composition, WizzyPro did not intend for "Emergency" to become a success. The single was ultimately released on 2 November 2013 through Dem Mama Records. Following its surge in popularity, it was announced in March 2016 that "Emergency" would be included on WizzyPro's debut studio album, titled Lord of the Sounds (2016).
An afropop song lasting for three minutes and fifty-two seconds, "Emergency" was written by Douglas Jack, Patrick Okorie, and Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, while WizzyPro provided the original production. All three artists wrote their own individual verses, as performed over varying chord progressions. During Patoranking's verse, he refers to the track's lead artist and exclaims: "I see emergency, na na na / WizzyPro beats causing madness". Badmus Bello Shuaibu, a writer for Naija Celebrity, inferred that the use of the word 'emergency' in Davido's 2014 single "Aye" was inspired by the repetitiveness in "Emergency".
