It's all about love on the song "Tender Love" by Sha Sha ft DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small

Updated: Dec 14, 2020


The title of the song Tender love explains itself. The use of the word, "tender" in this case means showing affection and love for someone. This means that the song is about Sha Sha expressing her love to someone else she loves.



The song Tender love is part of her EP called Blossom. This means that the the album Blossom is all about positivity and how in this case Sha Sha is developing as a musician.

This is why on the music video Tender love there is so much positivity surrounded between two people who love each other. This is why the song Tender love is all about love.


According to the nation: Sha Sha Biography,Age,Place of Birth,Career,EP,Songs & Album by Josepo Nkosi, it states that,"Sha Sha has been recording for a long time now,her EP has been six (6) years in the making. According to her, Blossom is the result of a lot of blood ,sweat and tears". This means that she worked really hard on the album. Moreover as stated by Joseph Nkosi she said, "It is a chance for people to get to know and finally see me. Even though it took over a year to drop, it came together really well". This means that every song on the album including Tender love is based on her personal life. She is expressing love to everyone through the album. This is why Tender love is all about love.


Lastly,as stated by Joseph Nkosi,Sha Sha said, "When I finally decided to put it together,I recorded it at DJ Maphorisa's studio where I met Kabza De Small and Samthing Soweto. They are both featured. Blossom comes from a warm place of love". The fact that Blossom comes from a warm place of love is another evidence to show that Tender love is all about love.


The song lyrics of Tender love is another evidence to show that the song is all about love.

The lyrics:


[Verse 1]

"All this time I thought I was right,oh

I thought I was better, I thought I was doing better without,you

It's easy to lie,boy deep inside I been hurting

Baby ngiyak'thanda, ngizwile

Ay bhuti, ngiyaz'fela

Ng'yak'thanda ngemphela"


Although she tried her best to move on,she still loved the man. For example, "ngiyak'thanda" is a Zulu word which means "I love you". This is why the song Tender love is all about love.


The song Tender love was released on 2019 and the music video was released on 10 January 2020. It's a smash hit on trace urban. At the end of the music video it's written ,"sometimes people are afraid of falling in love because it sometimes come in a way we never expected - Terry Mark". It's seems to act as a message to everyone that love can come when you least expect it. In this case , I believe Sha Sha is trying to tell everyone that they should not be afraid to fall in love because it brings happiness. This is why Tender love is all about love.
