Let’s be honest—situationships are exhausting. That awkward space where vibes are strong, feelings are involved, but clarity? Nowhere in sight. That’s the exact emotional limbo Njerae captures in her beautifully honest single, Decide. And if you've ever found yourself checking your phone wondering, “So, what are we doing?”—this song will hit home.
From the very first line, Njerae’s vocals pull you in. Smooth. Vulnerable. No filters. She’s not trying to show off vocal range—she’s trying to tell the truth. And that truth? She’s tired. Tired of guessing. Tired of half-love. Tired of not being chosen.
“You gotta decide / Is it me or the ride?”
That line alone could be a whole tweet, a caption, and a therapy session all at once.
Decide carries that sweet, mellow blend of alternative R&B and soul—perfect for late-night listening or rainy Sunday reflections. The guitar is gentle, the beat minimal, and the production clean—nothing gets in the way of her message. It gives “Kenyan Erykah Badu” vibes with a splash of SZA vulnerability.
There’s something so raw about how Njerae writes. She doesn’t try to sugarcoat her disappointment or turn it into a revenge anthem. Instead, she leans into the uncertainty. She’s soft, but firm. Hurt, but aware. That balance? Rare.
Njerae isn’t just singing for herself—she’s giving voice to a whole generation of lovers navigating undefined feelings in a world obsessed with keeping it casual. Decide is not a breakup song, and it’s not a love song either. It’s the in-between. The confrontation. The choose me or lose me moment that so many people are afraid to have out loud.
And that makes it powerful.
Decide might not be a radio banger (yet), but it’s building a strong online presence, especially among fans of authentic Kenyan R&B.
Njerae’s Decide isn’t just a song—it’s a gentle confrontation. A reminder that being in limbo isn’t love. That waiting around for someone to make up their mind shouldn’t be romanticized. So if you’re currently in that weird, confusing, undefined space with someone, just hit play. Let Njerae say the words for you.
Because eventually, somebody has to decide. And maybe that someone is you.
