[Instrumental Intro – Full Beat]
[Male]
Drums call out
I hear your sound
Come with me
Turn around
[Female]
Hands up high
Moon in the sky
Feel that beat
Move your feet
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[MALE] Do you feel it?
[FEMALE] Feel it, feel it
[MALE] Can you hear it?
[FEMALE] Hear it, hear it
[Chorus – Duet]
When the drums call, we answer
When the beat drops, come closer
Move your body, move your body
You and me, all night
When the drums call, we answer
Hearts together, no other
Move your body, move your body
Under African skies
[Post-Chorus – Chanted]
Call us — we answer
Move us — we’re closer
Call us — we answer
All night, all night
[Instrumental Groove]
[Verse – Female]
Step to the left
Step to the right
Pull me in
Hold me tight
[Verse – Male]
Round and round
We touch the ground
Your heartbeat
Is my sound
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[MALE] Do you feel it?
[FEMALE] Feel it, feel it
[MALE] Can you hear it?
[FEMALE] Hear it, hear it
[Chorus – Duet]
When the drums call, we answer
When the beat drops, come closer
Move your body, move your body
You and me, all night
When the drums call, we answer
Hearts together, no other
Move your body, move your body
Under African skies
[Extended Instrumental Break]
[Bridge – Duet]
One beat
Two hearts
No words
Just dance
[Final Chorus – Duet]
When the drums call, we answer
When the beat drops, come closer
Move your body, move your body
You and me, all night
[Instrumental Outro]

Musikstyle
Energetic, romantic Afro House duet, 125 BPM, matching the same album sound: strong four-on-the-floor kick and hypnotic African percussion from the first bar, rolling bass, syncopated hand drums, shakers, talking drum accents, rhythmic guitar stabs and a driving dancefloor groove. No slow ambient intro. Extended DJ-friendly instrumental sections and outro. Smooth male lead and soulful female lead, both with natural West African English inflections, clear diction and rhythmic call-and-response. Short, punchy vocal lines, chant-like repeated hook, exciting builds, intimate harmonies. Passionate, joyful, sensual and club-ready; no Afrobeats, no pop beat, no rap, no exaggerated accents.
