Tanzanian artist Nandy, widely recognized as The African Princess, has made her return with the release of “Oya,” an upbeat Bongo Flava and Afrobeats track that debuted on November 2, 2026. This song acts as the lead single from her project titled emergency services and merges a vibrant contemporary sound with a powerful message centered on romance, self-esteem, and understanding one’s worth.

In “Oya,” Nandy presents the viewpoint of a woman who garners attention from potential admirers but is resolute in not allowing admiration to morph into entitlement. Through a playful yet assertive tone, she underscores that true affection necessitates respect and effort, rather than presuming she can be easily won over. The phrase “mi sio oya oya” reinforces her stance, indicating that she is not to be underestimated or treated carelessly. The song is a celebration of confidence, independence, and the significance of establishing clear boundaries in romantic engagements.

Nandy is acknowledged as the songwriter, although the details regarding the producer and music video director have not been disclosed in the official launch information. An official lyric video has been released, providing fans with an additional means to engage with the song. By fusing the lively beats of Bongo Flava with Afrobeats elements, “Oya” highlights Nandy’s dynamic personality and serves as a relatable reminder of the importance of recognizing one’s worth in matters of love.
