With the views currently at 423k, at the time of publishing, the song blends Mejja’s unique gengetone signature of storytelling and humour.
In this song, Mejja is trying to convince his latest love interest that this will be the last time he cheats using lyrics such as “aki, baby, nisamehe, hii ni ya Mwisho” to plead his case while smirking at the camera behind her back.
The song also dives into a number of relatable themes, including cheating, heartbreak, self-awakening and the decision to let go of a relationship for one’s mental health.
Reacting to snagging the top spot on YouTube, Mejja said, “Wagenge Shukran” and urged his fans to keep streaming.
The track features TikTok content creators Mitchelle ‘’Mjaka Mfine’’ and Jaymo Ule Msee as the song’s protagonists, reinforcing the visual storytelling, adding depth to the track.
Fan reaction has mostly been positive with many praising his storytelling and lyricism.
One user on YouTube wrote, “This guy doesn’t sing, he talks about our personal stories na Wakenya tunarelate mbaya.”
“Ya Mwisho’’ is the Swahili word meaning “The Last One”.
The official music video is a four-minute and twenty-seven-second-long song and is streaming on YouTube or Spotify.
