Опубликовано 1 декабря 2023, 18:00

South African star Tyla stopped by Genius to discuss her global hit “Water." The Grammy nominated single was recently remixed with Travis Scott and is off the emerging singer’s just-released self-titled EP. On today’s episode of VERIFIED, find out more about the song's inspiration and viral fame.

"The water challenge is Bacardi, a dance style from South Africa," she tells Genius. "I ended up working with my choreographer. He came up with the challenge. So we're rehearsing and doing the dance, but I was like, 'Nah, like, I wanna pour water down my back. I ended up doing it in Rwanda and ooh, everybody loved it! Now it's my thing, you know."

Music legend Aaliyah also helped inspire "Water." “Growing up, I really liked the song 'Rock The Boat' and I did not know what that song meant," she says. "I just loved that it was a song about something mature but if you didn’t know, you didn’t need to know. No matter the age or no matter where you from, you can vibe to it!"

Tyla's newly-dropped EP also includes songs like "Truth or Dare" "Butterlies" and "On and On."
