NIKITA KERING’S LATEST SINGLE ‘LET YOU DOWN’ IS A HEART-WRENCHING TALE OF BETRAYAL AND HEARTBREAK
by February 2, 2024Nikita Kering is a rising star in Kenya’s music industry. At just 21 years old, she has already accomplished what very few veterans have, she is poised to break world records.
In her latest single, “Let You Down” featuring Kemena, Nikita Kering expresses her emotions about her significant other moving on to another woman. She found out about his secret affair during their dating days and wishes for the new lady to let him down.
The song explores heartbreak and betrayal in a failed relationship. The lyrics convey disappointment and the mention of a matching tattoo symbolizes commitment, and the decision to erase it reflects the dissolution of the once-promising connection.
The hook expresses a desire for the person responsible to experience similar letdowns in future relationships, “If you ever find your queen, I hope she lets you down, down…”. The song’s emotive vocals enhance its poignant impact.
Nikita’s journey started when she was just 3 years old, performing at small family gatherings. Since then, she has created unforgettable music, delivered amazing performances, and featured on a Times Square billboard. She has even performed with the Philharmonic Orchestra on BBC 1xtra.

LET YOU DOWN LYRICS
Purple silhouettes so I know you can’t see me
How long before I’m wishing like a genie
What’s the reasonable reason for your hiding
Si Last night I heard you calling on your mama, oh mwana
I cannot even vouch for you
I cannot call on you
So if I don’t love you na taboo
If you don’t love me too
So I erase my matching tattoo
Cause I put it on for you
If you ever start to really win
If you ever find your queen
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Man I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Wi, Have you never, oh no
Have you never focus on another
Have you never hocus pocus a brother
Have you ever noticed my hangover
You be driving me loco
Reason why I be leaving you pronto
You were the one that was supposed to carry me go
But when I’m on the road baby you the “go-slow”
That’s why I cannot even vouch for you
I cannot call on you
And if I don’t love you na taboo
When you don’t love me too
Now I erase my matching tattoo
Cause I put it on for you
If you ever start to really win
If you ever find a king
I hope he lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Man I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Kwani how many times
Am I losing our fight
I’ve been ready to die falling into Yah
Na wenginehawatakikunielimisha
Wanaonafala who’s into you
So now when you’re gone and you’re noticing
There was a diamond you didn’t see
I’ve been shining my way out of your darkness
That’s why I cannot even vouch for you
I cannot call on you
So if I don’t love you na taboo
If you don’t love me too
So I erase my matching tattoo
Cause I put it on for you
If you ever start to really win
If you ever find your queen
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Man I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
down, down, down
Have you ever, have you ever focused on another
Have you ever focused on another
