As the track kicks off, a pulsating rhythm quickly takes the forefront, backed by a deep, throbbing bassline that sets the tone for the song. The signature Amapiano percussion is present, with kick drums and shakers building a groove that is impossible to resist.

The chemistry between the vocalists is palpable, with each artist adding their own unique flavor, creating an infectious synergy.
Lyrically, Thiba celebrates the power of self-confidence and resilience. The phrase “Thiba,” meaning “stand up” or “rise,” acts as both an anthem and a call to action.
