Tyla recently sat down with Rolling Stone for an episode of The Breakdown, in which she shared behind-the-scenes footage of making her breakthrough hit.
“With ‘Water,’ I just wanted a summer song that everybody could vibe to and have fun too,” she said. “The meaning of the song is frisky: It’s me letting a guy know, ‘Show me what you got to offer. I’m done with all the talk.’ Men will just talk and talk and talk.”
Tyla explained that she went into the studio knowing she wanted “a summer banger.” She cut the track in Cape Town and couldn’t “stop playing it after,” and she was shaken by the response to the song during live shows.
Since “Water,” the star has given fans a taste of the music to come on her debut, dropping a trio of followups: “Truth or Dare,” “Butterflies,” and “On and On.”
