Why Marakwet Daughter released new hit

The song, which has gone viral on social media platforms, speaks about peer pressure youths face.

Marakwet Daughter is known for her viral hits, such as Mali Safi Chito and Tweku Kipsengwet, dedicated to the late marathoner Kelvin Kiptum.

In an exclusive with TUKO.co.ke, the hitmaker noted that since students were on break, they needed to be cautious of the company they kept.

She said:

"It's about peer pressure, I was Dedicating to our youth since they are on holiday. Sukuriendi/sukuriendung is a Marakwet word meaning sheuri yako."

The musician advised the youth to be careful of the moves they made and to be respectful

"Feel loved. Be cautious in every move you make. Be determined. Respect can't be purchased (not found on shelves in supermarkets ) God bless you."
