The artist says growing pressure from fans pushed him to release the song earlier than planned.
The track was released just days after Element EleéeH had teased it to his audience. At the time, he had intended to unveil both the audio and official visuals together, but the music video was not yet ready for release.
Speaking to IGIHE, Element EleéeH said his initial plan was to drop the song alongside its visuals, but increasing anticipation from fans who had already learned about the project influenced his decision to release it in its lyric form first.
“I originally wanted the song to come out together with its video. However, after I mentioned it, many people started asking for it, and it felt like pressure. I
decided to release it for them, but the official video will be out soon,” he said.
Reliable sources indicate that the artist, who is currently based in the United States, is expected to return to Rwanda before travelling to Nairobi, where the official music video will be shot. The visuals are scheduled for release in May 2026.
Element EleéeH is currently preparing for the release of his debut album, which is expected to drop before the end of the year.
Joshua Baraka, who features on the track, is among East Africa’s fast-rising music stars and is widely regarded as one of Uganda’s leading contemporary artists. He is known for songs such as “Wrong Places” and “Morocco”.
Bien, the other collaborator on “Ayayaah”, is also a prominent East African artist. He is best known for hits such as “Too Easy”, “Finesse”, and “Iyo Foto”, a collaboration with Bruce Melodie. Bien first rose to prominence as a member of the Kenyan band Sauti Sol.
