TWO OF AFRICA’S BRIGHTEST VOICES UNITE FOR ONE IRRESISTIBLE RECORD
Today, viral hitmaker MOLIY returns with her new single “Body Go” with Grammy-winning global superstar Tyla, available now on all streaming platforms. The collaboration between two of Africa’s brightest stars delivers an effortless fusion of R&B, Pop, Amapiano and Afrobeats, creating a global dance anthem with an undeniable groove.
“Body Go” with Tyla follows the massive success of MOLIY’s record-breaking, chart-topping track “Shake It To The Max – FLY [Remix],” which surpassed 1 Billion streams and was named one of the 2025 Songs of the Summer from both Spotify and TikTok.
Fans of each other’s artistry, Ghanaian-American MOLIY and South African Tyla came together with a shared vision, showcasing their electrifying chemistry and creating an empowering anthem for the ultimate night out. The two global sensations continue to make waves in the mainstream, furthering the global reach of African music worldwide.
The collaboration almost didn’t feel real at first. After MOLIY sent Tyla the track, Tyla was immediately drawn to it, laying down her verse before the two even met in person. They first met in New York City, where they connected instantly.
“When I was done recording the song, I just knew it needed another baddie, so I sent Tyla the record hoping she’d feel it,” says MOLIY. “When she sent back her verse, it was perfect. The first time we met, it didn’t even feel like the first time. We laughed the whole time, and she even surprised me with flowers for my birthday. She’s such a girl’s girl! That’s when I knew this song captured the right energy needed for a girls’ night out, and I’m so excited to release it.”
“Body Go” captures the essence of a night out, celebrating the freedom to dance, whine, and have a good time. Produced by French producer FRNCH and Grammy-winning producer DEE/MA, the track blends pulsating rhythms with smooth melodies and infectious hooks.
MOLIY is no stranger to virality, having co-helmed “Sad Girlz Luv Money” with Amaarae, and the subsequent remix with Kali Uchis in 2021. Recent collaborations include features on the remix of “The Greatest Bend Over (Take It Easy)” by Yung Bredda with Chlöe Bailey, as well as Sadboi’s track, “Johnny.” Over the past year, MOLIY has performed her breakout hit “Shake It To The Max – FLY [Remix]” at music events across the globe, making her the first Ghanaian musician to perform at the BET Awards. The song was nominated for Best Afrobeats and Song of the Summer at the 2025 MTV VMAs, and has earned MOLIY No. 1 spots on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart and U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.
