Master KG said he called "his sister Nomcebo to come so we can we finish the song". The finished version was then uploaded to YouTube in October and officially released on 29 November.[3][4] It surpassed one million views in its first week.[3] The official music video was released on 21 December 2019.[3] After it went viral, the song was released to streaming services on 10 July by Elektra France and Warner France.[4] Upon its release, some deemed it a "tavern" song. Master KG stated: "Some call it tavern music, and I said, 'It's okay, wait and let me show what tavern music can do to the world'".[6] During late 2019, it had become a favourite in South African clubs.[6] Prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, Master KG had travelled to Portugal to promote his album, and said he put more emphasis on the songs dance during his shows.[7]
