Africa’s ‘baddies’ unite: “Shake it to the max” star MOLIY  teams up with Tyla to drop another electrifying Pan-African dance anthem “Body Go”

Two of Africa’s most dominant female voices, Ghanaian-American MOLIY and Grammy-winning South African superstar TYLA, have teamed up to release the scorching new single, “Body Go.”

Available now on all streaming platforms, the collaboration is an effortless fusion of R&B, Pop, Amapiano, and Afrobeats, creating a global dance anthem that celebrates rhythm, confidence, and movement.

Produced by French producer FRNCH and Grammy-winning producer DEE/MA, “Body Go” channels the vibrant energy of a girls’ night out across the continent from Accra and Johannesburg to Lagos and right here in Nairobi.

A global hitmaker’s return

The release follows the massive, record-breaking global success of MOLIY’s viral smash “Shake It To The Max – FLY [Remix].”

That track, which cemented her status as a global breakout star, surpassed 1 billion streams and was named one of the Songs of the Summer 2025 by both Spotify and TikTok.

MOLIY’s hit also held the #1 spot on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart for 22 consecutive weeks and earned nominations for Best Afrobeats and Song of the Summer at the MTV VMAs 2025. She also made history as the first Ghanaian musician to perform at the BET Awards.

The organic collaboration

The collaboration between MOLIY and Tyla, both huge fans of each other’s artistry, came together with a shared vision: to celebrate feminine power, unity, and joy.

“When I was done recording the song, I just knew it needed ‘another baddie’,” MOLIY said of the track. She sent it to Tyla, who instantly connected with the infectious sound and recorded her verse before the two even met in person.

Tyla, the GRAMMY-winning South African powerhouse behind the global phenomenon “Water,” echoed the sentiment, noting the song’s playful and light energy.

“I remember hearing ‘Body Go’ for the first time and thinking, ‘Yeah, I need to be on this.’… 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.” – Tyla

The instant bond, sealed during their first meeting in New York City, radiates through every beat, pushing African sounds further into the global mainstream.

MOLIY: Bridging genres and generations

MOLIY is one of Africa’s most dynamic voices, fearlessly blending Afropop, R&B, and dancehall. Beyond her solo success, she co-helmed the global hit “Sad Girlz Luv Money” with Amaarae (later remixed with Kali Uchis) and has collaborated with stars like Sean Paul, Chlöe Bailey, and SadBoi.

With each release, MOLIY continues to redefine what it means to be a global African artist, bridging cultures, genres, and generations.

TYLA: The amapiano pop queen

TYLA is a Grammy Award-winning South African superstar who is redefining global pop with her signature amapiano-infused sound.

Her breakout hit “Water” not only earned her the GRAMMY for Best African Music Performance but also made her the highest-charting African female soloist on the Billboard Hot 100.

Her self-titled debut album, Tyla, surpassed 1 billion Spotify streams within three months, cementing her successful debut era.

“Body Go” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
