Composition[]

When asked about what the song is about, Amanda Black had this to say: "Amazulu is a journey song in a nutshell. It is a relationship between me and my music and where I want it be, from the disappointment of Idols to being told I wasn't good enough. When I came to Joburg, the only person I knew was my cousin and it was hard as I felt like I wasn't good enough, I had so many doors closed in my face."

The song was written by herself alongside Christer Kobedi and produced by Lunatik with additional production from Christer and Vuyo Manyike.
