[Instrumental Intro – Full Beat]
[Female]
Sunrise calling, feel the heat
Africa is moving underneath
Hands up high, the night is young
Come on, baby, join the song
[Male]
Bassline rolling, drums ignite
Your smile puts the stars alight
Take my hand, don’t think twice
We’re gonna dance into the light

[FEMALE] Can you feel the fire?
[MALE] Burning in my heart!
[FEMALE] Can you hear the rhythm?
[MALE] Calling from the start!
[Chorus – Duet]
Africa, lift me higher
Higher, higher, higher!
Love is taking over
Closer, closer, closer!
Africa, feel that power
Dance with me this hour
Heartbeat, drumbeat, side by side
You and I are coming alive!
[Post-Chorus – Chant]
Hey! Hey! Move your feet!
Hey! Hey! Feel that beat!
Hey! Hey! Round and round!
Love is shaking up the ground!

Every step, I feel you near
Your voice is music in my ear
The drums are loud, the sky is wide
Stay with me, don’t leave my side

The sweetest night has just begun
No stopping now, we’re burning bright
Let’s dance together through the night

Musikstil
High-energy Afro House duet, 127 BPM. Strong four-on-the-floor kick from the first bar, deep rolling bass, African hand drums, shakers, talking drum, rhythmic guitar and bright synth hooks. Big builds and dancefloor drops. Adult male and female singers, BOTH with clear, unmistakable natural African-accented English voices. Energetic call-and-response, catchy chant chorus, joyful passionate Africa-and-love theme. No American, British or neutral vocals, no rap, no Afrobeats.
