The song was produced by Zimbabwean producer, T-Collar — who is based in Los Angeles, the United States, and has worked with Chris Brown and Rita Ora on their single Body On Me, while the video that has also taken the world by storm, was directed by James Davis II.
Influenced by African roots and with African echoes and beats, the song tells a love story in a fresh and unique way.
It is currently trending on different social media platforms and on Thursday, it had recorded about 63 000 views on Facebook and 25 000 views on YouTube.
The video conveys an African story telling a heart-warming tale of two lovers in a war-stricken country, their highs, the lows, the obstacles and the trials as they run away from the guerrillas.
Bantu, who describes his genre as Tribal African Pop, said the song is the vision of a boy, who moved from Zimbabwe to America with the dream of sharing his rich culture with the world.
