In a powerhouse collaboration that’s set to light up playlists worldwide, Ghanaian-American sensation Moliy has teamed up with Grammy-winning South African superstar Tyla for their new single “Body Go.” Released today, this track is a seamless blend of R&B, Pop, Amapiano, and Afrobeats, crafting an infectious anthem that screams confidence, rhythm, and unapologetic fun. It’s the kind of song that transports you straight to a vibrant night out in Africa’s bustling cities—from Accra’s lively streets to Johannesburg’s pulsing clubs.
Following the monumental success of Moliy’s “Shake It To The Max – FLY [Remix],” which racked up over 1 billion streams and dominated summer charts on Spotify and TikTok, “Body Go” arrives as a fresh wave of Pan-African energy. Produced by French hitmaker FRNCH and Grammy-winner DEE/MA, the single pulses with amapiano basslines, smooth Afrobeats grooves, and hooks that demand movement. It’s all about celebrating feminine power, unity, and that effortless joy of hitting the town with your squad.
The Organic Magic Behind the Track
The collab between these two African powerhouses came together naturally, born from mutual admiration and a shared creative spark. Moliy, fresh off recording the track, knew it needed “another baddie” to elevate it. She slid the demo to Tyla, who vibed with it immediately and laid down her verse without hesitation—even before they’d met face-to-face. Their first in-person link-up in New York City was pure magic, complete with laughter, instant chemistry, and Tyla surprising Moliy with birthday flowers.
Moliy shared her excitement: “When I was done recording the song, I just knew it needed another baddie, so I sent Tyla the record hoping she’d feel it. When she sent back her verse, it was perfect. The first time we met, it didn’t even feel like the first time. We laughed the whole time, and she even surprised me with flowers for my birthday. She’s such a girl’s girl! That’s when I knew this song captured the right energy needed for a girls’ night out, and I’m so excited to release it.”
Tyla echoed the sentiment: “I remember hearing ‘Body Go’ for the first time and thinking, ‘Yeah, I need to be on this.’ Meeting MOLIY in New York felt like meeting an old friend. This one is special because it’s so playful and light. It feels like you’re outside with your girls, not thinking too hard, just living, just moving. MOLIY and I clicked right away on this track.”
