Tyla shared insights into the creation of her album TYLA during an interview with Apple Music’s Travis Mills, highlighting the personal growth and self-discovery that shaped the project over three years. She emphasized the significance of her journey towards womanhood, self-worth, and self-respect, stating, “I’m that girl, and people need to know I’m that girl.” Tyla’s musical fusion of amapiano with pop and R&B aimed to maintain authenticity without diluting the essence of African music, which she described as integral to their culture.

Despite high expectations for her upcoming world tour and Coachella debut, Tyla made the difficult decision to postpone these events due to a worsening injury. In an Instagram post, she expressed disappointment over the cancellations but prioritized her long-term health and safety based on professional advice. Tyla assured her fans of a spectacular show once she has fully recovered and is ready to return to the stage safely later in the summer.
