Tyla's commitment I’ve just become someone who has a whole different level of pride for my home and where I come from. I'm proud to be a native South African person and citizen of a wonderful country. I grew up with a love for all types of sounds and never wanted to be tied down to one. Music was my personal favorite and my commitment I want to become the new reference and the start of something new. When I was small, I was convinced that I was the best dancer. I never had dance classes but I would always try out all different forms of dance, from belly dancing to krumping, and now amapiano type dancing. I’m still learning but my love for dancing runs deep. I wanna eventually buy my parents their dream home and make sure they don’t need to work another day in their life. Dunn, Frankie (3 April 2021). "Tyla is on a mission to become South Africa's biggest popstar". i-D. Vice. I would tell everybody that I was going to be a pop star. My parents hoped I would grow out of it, but I never did. No matter who asked me what I wanted to be, I’d always say singer. My answer never changed. I’m very determined. Tyla adds of her desire for further international success. If I want something, I make sure I get it. There’s a point where things become hard and you wonder if it’s going to work. But I always knew that things were going to work out eventually. I always know what I want and I trust [myself]. I also love collaborating and sharing other people’s ideas because everybody has something different. You never know, because initially with ‘Been Thinking’ it was a bit further into pop than I was used to, but I warmed up to it and recorded everything and it was great. That’s happened a lot where I’ve been worried or questioning certain things, but once I’ve done it I’ve ended up liking it, so I’m open to learning. I love it — it’s what I wanted. I’m super-proud of myself. I know this is the time when I’m just starting, but I know that it’s also the time when I have to really work because I want to make my home proud. It’s a lot to put on your shoulders, but that’s what I want. I really want eyes on all African artists in general, because we need more attention. Campbell, Erica (8 March 2023).

We are very close as a family and they are so proud, they get excited and it’s a whole celebration. Tjiya, Emmanuel (9 June 2023). "Tyla: The girl next door". The Sowetan. They didn’t want me to be disappointed if things didn’t go my way. But I was so adamant. I was going to make it happen no matter what. Fetto, Funmi (18 February 2025).
