"Getting Late" is the debut single by South African singer Tyla featuring producer Kooldrink. It was produced by Kooldrink and Rogan Kelly, and released on 25 October 2019. Filmed during the pandemic lockdowns, the music video released in January 2021 racked up over 2 million views by May 2021 after its dance challenge received attention and secured Tyla a deal with Epic Records. Musically, the song combines Amapiano and pop music with Kooldrink's EDM beats over Tyla's smooth R&B vocals and elements of jazz and house music. Tyla stated she wanted to incorporate pop music into Amapiano to make it suit her more as she felt the genre had been "male dominated".
