Tyla Narrates How She Created Her Hit ‘To Last’ In The Shower.21-year-old South African sensation, Tyla has become a hitmaker and Tik Tok sensation. She signed to Epic Records through a joint venture with Johannesburg/New York-based Fax Records, and co-managed by We Make Music and Africa Creative Agency, Tyla is poised to achieve international dominance with style, soul, and spirit.
Ever since, she’s been guided by her intuition, which has her primed to build out her fan base and maximize her reach. She’s focused on the year ahead, performing and crafting her debut studio album, with the same intention from when she began.
Following the success of her debut song, which currently sits at over 4 million streams on Spotify, the South African singer has released ‘Overdue’, which was featured on Netflix’s hit series “Blood and Water,” and ‘To Last’, which was remixed by DJ Maphorisa. Tyla narrated how the single ‘To Last’ started in the shower
“Years ago, I was in the shower and I was singing to myself—I always sing in the shower, by the way—and I came up with the chorus lyrics, and they really stuck. I wasn’t even thinking melody, but when I said those words, I was like, “Yeah, this hits!” So I recorded it on my phone and kept it there.Years later, I returned to it while recording music at a camp in South Africa, and it just sat so perfectly on the beat that the song literally flowed out of me. I finished very quickly, and it was the perfect timing because the song is about what a friend was going through at the time, so I was speaking through her in the song. That’s how it came about.”
