Tyla’s “IS IT” Hits Different—And It’s Definitely It, Baby!

stayc main image

Tyla just slid into our summer soundtrack with her new track “IS IT”, and let me tell you, it is everything. No cap.

Straight off the jump, you get those booming amapiano kicks and warped vocal samples that slap harder than your bestie stealing the aux. Tyla’s mastered popiano (yes, that’s amapiano + pop = pure Tyla magic) and “IS IT” is peak proof.

What makes it bop?

Percussive swagger meets buttery-smooth melodies, it's basically sonic peanut butter pancakes. Lyrics like “Is it the idea that I like? Or do I really want to make you mine?” have me questioning my whole life, and my DMs. Instrumentally minimal, but vocally maximal: she floats like a butterfly, stings like a club anthem.

“IS IT” = Instant Summer Anthem

Premiered at a party in Joburg and teased with #WEWANNAPARTY vibes, this track is pure “Is it a bop? Yes, it’s a bop.” It’s sleek, it’s cheeky, it’s that flirty, vibey song you didn’t know you needed.

No bridge? No problem. At 2 minutes and change, it’s snackable, shareable, and goes down smoother than iced coffee on a hot day.

Why you’ll catch it on loop:

It’s the soundtrack to your next vibe-check: walking down the street like you own it. It’s the background score for all your “should I text them?” moments. It’s short, sweet, no filler. Just finger-snapping goodness.

“IS IT”? Yes, Tyla. It is.

She’s going for the throat, masquerading as a flirt, but she is SERVING. All signs point: this is your new Amapiano summer jam.
