Gyakie, a rising star in the Ghanaian music scene, recently opened up about the inspiration behind her latest song, “DECEMBER“.
In a candid interview with Onua TV’s Entertainment Presenter, Nana Adwoa Annan, Gyakie revealed that a heartbreak from a loved one served as the driving force behind the emotional track.
Explaining her motivation in the Twi dialect, Gyakie simply stated, “se meye nipa”, which translates to “I am human”. This response highlighted the fact that even as a successful musician, she is not exempt from the pain of heartbreak that comes with being human.
“DECEMBER” was released on Friday, April 5, 2024, and has already amassed over 655,000 views on YouTube within just 9 days. Gyakie emphasized that the song is not just a piece of entertainment but a reflection of her personal journey and experiences.
The lyrics of “DECEMBER” reflect the raw emotions of disappointment and longing that Gyakie felt during the holiday season of December, 2023. The absence of a significant person in her life made it difficult for her to embrace the spirit of celebration and love that usually defines that time of year.
Through poignant lines like “Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s another December without you”, Gyakie captures the sentiment of heartache and loss that many can relate to. She dedicated the song to anyone who is struggling with the pain of heartbreak and hopes it serves as a source of comfort and healing.
As the song continues to resonate with listeners, Gyakie’s honest and vulnerable approach to music is earning her praise and recognition in the industry. With her unique storytelling ability and heartfelt lyrics, Gyakie is carving out a space for herself as a standout artist in the Ghanaian music scene.
