“I just went into making a song that has good vibes. People hear it and want to move their bodies. They want to dance on it. They are basically happy. So, I’m happy that the effect of the song is actually happening in real life and I’m super excited to have such a song doing well globally”.

Speaking about the several Instagram reels and TikTok videos that have been made around his song, including many Indian celebrities, KIDI says, “I’ve seen a couple of reels from so many people from India, the celebrities. I don’t remember their names, but I have a couple of favorites. They Are all group ones. I think it was the one with the police officer dancing with another woman. And I think there was one near the waterfall or a river and they were dancing to it. It was amazing to see”.
KiDi disclosing the source of his inspiration to write the song said that the beat of the song inspired him.
According to the ‘Enjoyment’ crooner, if he is the one producing the song, he will have to finish the beat before he gets inspiration. However, If the beat is sent to him, he will have to listen to it and be inspired.
“So, whatever happens, beats inspire me. I hear a melody in the beat or a baseline or a groove or the chords. Those are the things that inspire me to come up with an idea for any song”.
