Background
The song features the vocals of Nico & Vinz on the verses and the chorus, while Ladysmith Black Mambazo is on the bridge and additional vocals before the drop. Nico & Vinz also sing the outro. Ladysmith Black Mambazo's bridge seems to have the same meaning as Nico & Vinz's vocals and lyrics. The song is a highlight from the album, as it incorporates 2 languages in one song, English and Zulu. It is a ballad.
