The song was recorded during a live performance where she was performing alongside SA gospel artist, Joseph Makola, who also composed the item. In an interview with Arts&Culture, she said the song targets everyone hungry for God in this era of uncertainty. She added that it was meant for those who wanted to worship God regardless of their position in life. “Ke a khubama means to bow down. Bowing down is a sign of honour and reverence. The gesture is offered to an authority God, the Father and creator of heavens and earth. If people were aware that God can change even the worst situations, they would bow down before Him as a sign of surrender to Him who holds all power to change their predicaments,” she said. Furthermore, she pointed out that she had been meditating on recording the extended version which will be sung in English and Zulu.
She explained that there were songs that she listened to which she did not even understand what the singers were saying but there was a connection, something happened within her that she could not even explain with words. She explained that it was called an encounter or an experience that triggers the manifestations of the lyrics of the song in one’s life.
She further pointed out that her song’s assignment was to trigger the heart of man to remember who they were before God when they do saying they would give Him the worship He deserves - casting down their thrones (positions), remembering who they are in Him. “During recording, this song was a beautiful experience and scary. I shared the stage with one of the most sought-after South African gospel singers even though I was from Botswana in front of an audience of thousands. It was also humbling because it took the favour of God for me to be there,” she said. Grace added that it was an honour for her to have been recognised by an award-winning artist from SA saying that that man was big in SA and also saying he had been to most African countries and Europe.
She said her new song was available on Apple Music, Spotify and iTunes. She added that the support of the public was highly appreciated. She pleaded with her fans to buy the song and share videos of them listening to it.
