Hearts in the Same Groove
Nick Cee
funk
Afropop love ballad with midtempo bounce
warm guitars
and light percussive swing; male vocals laid close and intimate in the verses
opening into a melodic singalong hook with stacked harmonies and soft pads on the chorus
bassline subtly dancing under the vocal to keep the groove tender but moving.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
OJoan nakupenda mamaz
I swear I’ll never break up with you
From the first time I met you
That evening in Form One too
We were just classmates
Laughing
Joking
Nothing to prove
Now we lovers
Our hearts dancing to the same groove
You came to see me
Hukujua hata nilikuwa wapi
But you went all out
Ukauliza mum
God bless her
She guided you right
That day we started something crazy
Baby tulizima whole night
Talking dreams
Talking fears
Everything just felt right
[Chorus]
OJoan
Nakupenda mamaz
From the desk in class hadi leo my love
You’re my day one
My last one
My truth
Hearts in the same groove
Same groove
OJoan
Wako moyo ni waz
Nikianguka
Wewe ndo unani-hold juu
Swear I’m riding every season with you
Hearts in the same groove
Same groove (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Unakumbuka zile days tulikula chips shared?
Pocket money kidogo but we never cared
Unacheka vile mimi huchora future kwa book
Surname yako next to mine
Cheki tu that look
Tumepitia storms
Midterms
Home dramas
Lakini still tuko side by side
Hakuna rumors
Mum anasema mnafanana kwa roho
Anatuombea ndoa
Anasema “msiogope chochote”
[Chorus]
OJoan
Nakupenda mamaz
From the desk in class hadi leo my love
You’re my day one
My last one
My truth
Hearts in the same groove
Same groove
OJoan
Wako moyo ni waz
Nikianguka
Wewe ndo unani-hold juu
Swear I’m riding every season with you
Hearts in the same groove
Same groove (oh yeah)
OJoan nakupenda mamaz
I swear I’ll never break up with you
From the first time I met you
That evening in Form One too
We were just classmates
Laughing
Joking
Nothing to prove
Now we lovers
Our hearts dancing to the same groove
You came to see me
Hukujua hata nilikuwa wapi

Baby tulizima whole night
