“My Decision” is a bold and soul-stirring Afro-House collaboration between South African producer Da Capo and vocalist Apple Gule — a track that channels the emotional weight of choosing oneself over uncertainty, heartbreak, or hesitation. It’s about clarity, closure, and the quiet power of finally saying “enough.”
Da Capo and Hertha Elama recently appeared on Mama Told Me.
The production by Da Capo is, as always, meticulous and emotionally intelligent. The beat flows with rich percussion, hypnotic drum patterns, and atmospheric pads that evoke both tension and calm. Every element feels intentional — from the subtle basslines to the swirling synths that mirror the complexity of making a life-altering choice. It’s Afro-House with depth: built not just for the dancefloor, but for the soul.
Apple Gule’s vocals are the soul of the record. His delivery is soft but resolute, capturing the bittersweet feeling of letting go. The lyrics tell a story of self-worth and emotional detachment, not out of bitterness, but growth. “My Decision” isn’t about walking away in anger — it’s about walking away in peace.
The hook is powerful in its simplicity, repeating with mantra-like strength that gradually becomes a declaration: “This is my decision.” With every chorus, the words hit harder, echoing the kind of internal dialogue that happens before change — painful but necessary, personal but universal.
What makes the track especially impactful is its ability to balance emotional weight with sonic beauty. It doesn’t try to mask the pain — it transforms it into something liberating. The groove keeps your body swaying while your mind reflects, and your heart processes.
