"OK, I can show you my dance."

Lisa described music as an art that came naturally to her, and it was not something she had to think about. In response, Tyla talked about how African Culture and dance were co-related and explained:

"It looks effortless, so that's great. African Culture and dance are one thing. Even all the viral African dance moves that come about are literally random people in South Africa. It just feels very spiritual and natural. It's in our blood, really. That dance is for a different genre."

Tyla elaborated:

"I just love the way it looks. So we did it on my song, which is amapiano and pop. It feels like social media opened that portal for us to share our culture, with the world, and I'm happy that I am able to do that on huge stages. It just worked."

Subsequently, Tyla left a positive remark about the K-pop fandom and added:

"I love the videos, the dances, and the fan bases- how invested people are in K-pop. The music, the videos. It's like its own world. I find it so cool that in K-pop, you can bring people into a world that doesn't feel real. That's so cool. It's very inspiring for me as well because it made me want to create a Tyla world. A little Tiger world."
