Background


The song is about Diawara's hometown, which is in the lyrics, "When you go to my home country/There is unity in my home-country/There is harmony and love in my home-country/There is brotherhood in my home-country."[1]

In a video shared on Disclosure's YouTube channel approximately two weeks after the song's release, Diawara explains that "douha" means "prayer", and that the song itself is a cry for help on behalf of her country. Mali, a diverse and historically conflict-laden West African republic, underwent a coup d'état just a mere week after the track came out.


Music video


The video shows Diawara and others dancing in places around the globe. Mahaneela, the director, wanted to make the video beautiful and symbolic.[2] The video was filmed in three countries.[3]
