“Why Won’t You” is a heartfelt and soulful Amapiano ballad where Poizen and Tye Waves blend emotional storytelling with warm, groove-driven production. Built around a deep, velvety bassline and smooth chord layers, the track carries a bittersweet tone — a mixture of longing, vulnerability, and quiet frustration.
Poizen and C-Blak recently appeared on Jazz Yela featuring The Bless and Jay Sax.
Lyrically, it feels like a personal plea — the title itself echoing the sentiment of someone questioning why love, attention, or commitment isn’t being reciprocated. The vocal delivery is tender but filled with an emotional weight that draws the listener into the narrative. Poizen’s production style keeps things minimal yet expressive, allowing Tye Waves’ voice to glide effortlessly over soft log drums, delicate hi-hats, and airy background harmonies.
There’s a subtle push-and-pull in the arrangement — the verses are intimate and stripped-back, while the instrumental swells in the hook, creating a wave-like effect that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of the story. Gentle synth melodies and reverb-soaked pads give the track a dreamy, almost nocturnal feel, making it perfect for late-night listening or reflective moments.
