Tyla – Getting Late (Official Video) ft. Kooldrink
Built around the refrain "Baby, I know it's getting late", the track is about taking your time with someone who does not want to wait.
South African singer-songwriter from Edenvale, near Johannesburg, blending amapiano with pop and R&B. Tyla gained attention at home with her 2019 debut single “Getting Late”, which led to a deal with Epic Records in 2021. “Water”, her 2023 breakthrough, was the first song by a South African solo artist to reach the US Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years and won the inaugural Grammy for Best African Music Performance.
A self-titled debut album followed in 2024, and “Push 2 Start” brought the singer a second Grammy in 2026. Her second album, A*Pop, arrived that year with the Zara Larsson collaboration “She Did It Again”.
