he idea for Golden Crown struck Shaza during a live performance at the Get Lucky Summer Concert in Plettenberg Bay, where she opened for Will Linley. “I noticed this girl trying to get a boy’s attention,” Shaza recalls. “But her more confident friend stole the spotlight. It reminded me how invisible we can feel sometimes, especially when we’re younger. Instead of a heartbreak song, I wanted to flip that moment into something empowering.” 

Lyrically cheeky with lines like “Just because I don’t look like her doesn’t really mean that I can’t be me,” lands with refreshing honesty. “All I really hear is Will Linley’s song, All The Girls,” Shaza tips her hat at one of South Africa’s brightest pop inspirations. “Will is such an inspiration to upcoming artists, and I’m a big fan of his music.”

Shaza teamed up with award-winning producer Daniel Baron again, and their working relationship continues to grow with each new single. “Every song is a snapshot of where I am creatively,” Shaza shares. “Golden Crown feels like stepping into a new chapter - fun, fearless, and self-assured. It’s about energy, connection, and reminding people that being yourself is magic.”
