About Nikita's Last Name

“It's real-life experience, just going into a space where someone's essence builds your mind and without fail you just approach them. The song speaks to my personality a lot.

“The song is just a vibe, it's nothing too serious. It's about going to a space, going out, one night, and walking into the space and being blown away by how this person looks and it completely makes you lose track of everything that's going on around you. It's about being free and doing whatever it is that you want to do with regards to the person,” Nikita narrates.

The new song follows the success Nikita Kering’s debut EP, "A Side of Me” that saw her win two awards – Best RnB song ‘Ex’ and Best female artoste in East Africa at AFRIMA.

“I needed time to understand myself and what I really, really wanted to make creatively. I think sometimes when your project does well it's easy to hop on the trends and try and do whatever it is that's trending, so I think I just needed to find time to find myself,” says Nikita.
