The song "Western Union" by African China is a lively and fun Afrobeat dance track that encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves. The lyrics are primarily in Swahili, with some English words and phrases scattered throughout.
The song opens with the singer, Victor, proclaiming that he is on fire (Nimekam na moto) and the beat drops as he encourages listeners to dance and unlock their feet to the rhythm. He speaks of the joy of being on the beach and enjoying life. He also name-drops Mama Hassan Bhagia, perhaps as a tribute to the popular Tanzanian snack or as a nod to a real-life woman by that name. The chorus urges listeners to keep dancing and moving to the beat, with repetitive phrases like "Chora chora Saba Saba" and "Ka bonjour" punctuating the song.
The middle section of the song features an instrumental break and more call-and-response vocals, with the singer exhorting listeners to shake and twist their bodies to the music (Tingisha, tingisha baby). Overall, "Western Union" is a high-energy and infectious song that celebrates the joy of movement and dancing, and encourages listeners to let their hair down and enjoy themselves.
