“Water” is Tyla’s breakthrough single, and it has been quickly gaining popularity since its release in July 2023. The song is an Afrobeat tune with a catchy dance choreography that has been trending on social media.

Tyla’s achievement is even more impressive considering that she is a relatively new artist. She has only been releasing music for a few years, but she has already made a big impact on the Afrobeats scene.
