about

A groovy, feel-good song with a Fela Kuti-influenced afrobeat rhythm, intended to provide a little relief from the pressures of life with its positive message, very relatable verses and catchy hook. Adomaa has a lot of fun on this track, and hopes to translate her uncomplicated perspective and appreciation for the simple things of life to listeners in down-to-earth lyrics that are a mix of Pidgin, English, Twi and Yoruba.
