There’s a new contender for the global dance anthem of the season, and it’s coming out of the gate dressed to impress. “Ngishutheni“, the infectious new collaboration from Goon Flavour, Master KG and Eemoh, is something of a cultural moment. Translating to “take my picture” in isiZulu, the song is an upbeat, high-energy ride laced with Eemoh’s signature vocals and Master KG’s instantly recognisable, party-starting bounce.
On the surface, “Ngishutheni” is a feel-good banger made for dance floors and road trips. But beneath the groove lies a cheeky narrative: Eemoh wants the world to see him looking fresh and fly before stepping out to shut down the night—suited up, V-Class keys in hand, and dripping in confidence.
With 852.7 million TikTok views and over 1.3 million creations, “Ngishutheni” is already a certified viral phenomenon. The track is currently #6 on Shazam Global, #2 on Shazam Viral Global, and #2 on Shazam Dance Global — and the momentum keeps building. It’s charting across Africa, the UK, UAE, and the US, and climbing steadily on Spotify (#18 SA) and Apple Music (#2 Uganda, #3 Kenya, #5 Namibia, #38 South Africa). On YouTube, the visuals are also soaring, already sitting at 4.7 million views, with 50 million more coming in daily on TikTok alone.
“Ngishutheni is about confidence. That ‘take my picture’ energy when you know you’re looking good, feeling good and ready to take on the world,” says Eemoh. “We wanted to give people something light-hearted and energetic — a song to live their best lives to.”
