The song which introduces a different side of Ssaru’s artistry opens with a powerful quote by Mark Anthony, which reads, “And one day she discovered that she was fierce, strong and full of fire and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned more than her fears.”
Adapting to the famous storytelling technique adapted by most Rhumba jams, Ssaru tells their love story through well-versed rhyming lyrics with Charisma feeding off her energy to deliver sultry vocals, which marry with her style.
The visuals which were directed by Papooz are very creative and highlight Ssaru’s acting skills as she fights to leave the love of her life, and later travels back to the village to get back with him.
