Imphilo is an infusion of afro house and 3-step composed and produced Eswatini’s rising producer/DJ Wordsmith Felix that speaks to the human struggle of holding on when life feels unbearable. Zinia delivers the message with a tone of sorrow, reflecting on what it feels like to realize you’ve been walking the wrong path. It’s a familiar story—elders warn us, advise us, guide us—but often their words are brushed aside, only to return later in life as echoes of truth. The song captures that moment of regret with honesty and vulnerability.

But Imphilo doesn’t stop at regret. At its core, it is a reminder not to let mistakes define the rest of your journey. The 3 step-esque amapiano rhythm Wordsmith Felix produced gives the message warmth and grounding, carrying a sense of resilience beneath the sadness. It tells us to embrace life, to love it in its fullness, even when the road has been hard. In this way, Zinia turns a personal reflection into something universal—a song that says no matter how far you’ve strayed, life is still worth living.
