Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro – Full Beat]
[Female]
You found me in the golden light
Your eyes turned sparks into a fire
One touch, the whole world falls away
Come closer, don’t let this beat fade
[Male]
I hear your heartbeat next to mine
Two shadows moving in the night
The drums are calling, loud and clear
I want you dancing close to me
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[FEMALE] Can you feel my heartbeat?
[MALE] Beating with the drum
[FEMALE] Can you feel the fire?
[MALE] We’re becoming one
[Chorus – Duet]
Love on the rhythm, fire in our feet
Africa dancing underneath
Closer, closer, don’t let go
Move with my heart, let the whole night flow
Love on the rhythm, higher and higher
You are the spark, I’m your fire
Closer, closer, side by side
Africa’s heartbeat is taking us tonight
[Post-Chorus – Chant]
Move, move — feel the sound
Love, love — all around
Move, move — hold me tight
We are the rhythm tonight
[Instrumental Afro House Break]
[Male]
From the city lights to the ocean blue
Every road is leading me to you
The bass rolls deep, the sky burns red
Your melody is in my head
[Female]
Keep that rhythm under my skin
When you pull me close, the night begins
No other place I need to be
Just your heart moving next to me
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[FEMALE] Can you feel my heartbeat?
[MALE] Beating with the drum
[FEMALE] Can you feel the fire?
[MALE] We’re becoming one
[Chorus – Duet]
Love on the rhythm, fire in our feet
Africa dancing underneath
Closer, closer, don’t let go
Move with my heart, let the whole night flow
Love on the rhythm, higher and higher
You are the spark, I’m your fire
Closer, closer, side by side
Africa’s heartbeat is taking us tonight
[Extended Instrumental Break]
[Bridge – Duet]
One heart, one sound
Let the drums shake the ground
One touch, one flame
We dance till the morning comes
[Final Chorus – Duet]
Love on the rhythm, fire in our feet
Africa dancing underneath
Closer, closer, don’t let go
Move with my heart, let the whole night flow
[Outro – Chant]
Move, move — feel the sound
Love, love — all around
Africa’s heartbeat
You and me tonight

Style of Music
High-energy, romantic Afro House duet, 126 BPM. Powerful four-on-the-floor kick from the first bar, deep rolling bass, driving African hand percussion, shakers, talking drum accents, rhythmic guitar stabs and uplifting synths. Catchy, chant-like hook, short rhythmic vocal phrases, exciting builds, call-and-response and extended DJ-friendly instrumental breaks. Two distinct lead singers: one female and one male. BOTH must sing in English with unmistakably African-accented voices and natural, authentic African vocal character. The female voice must sound clearly African; the male voice must also sound clearly African. Keep both African accents noticeable throughout the verses, chorus and ad-libs. No American, British or neutral-sounding vocals. Clear, confident singing; no exaggerated or cartoon accents. Passionate celebration of Africa, dancing and romantic love. Joyful, sensual, powerful dancefloor energy. Polished modern Afro House production. No Afrobeats, no rap.
