Abigail said this about “Nani?”;
“This is a very fun song. It’s a fusion of bongo flava and amapiano, but also Afropop. ‘Nani’ is a Swahili word for ‘who’ and it comes from a really famous game that we play in East Africa as kids. So Marioo and I turned a tune that every East African kid played, had fun with and enjoyed, into a song. In Swahili, we say, ‘Is this what it’s like to be in love? Because I can’t eat without this girl. I can’t sleep without this boy.’ It’s a very descriptive song and that’s how we created it.”
