There’s something special about a house song that makes you dance and feel seen—and Dimakatso’s latest release does exactly that. On October 18, 2025, the rising vocalist officially unveiled the music video for “Babe Waitse Keng,” a three-step house love song that dives straight into the emotional realities of modern relationships.
From the very first beat, Babe Waitse Keng pulls listeners into a familiar space: missing someone who should be close, feeling worn down by empty promises, and carrying the quiet loneliness that comes when love feels one-sided. The song openly addresses relationship imbalance, particularly the emotional burden women bear when their partners consistently prioritize friends over connection. It’s tender, honest, and deeply relatable.
Musically, the track blends infectious house rhythms with poignant storytelling, making it just as suitable for the dancefloor as it is for late-night reflection. Dimakatso glides effortlessly over the production, proving once again that she can adapt to any sound placed before her. Her vocal delivery is emotional without being heavy, expressive without being forced—exactly what a timeless house record needs.
The song was recorded in just a few hours at Shinning Stars Production studios in Thembisa, following focused rehearsal sessions that allowed everything to come together organically. Written and produced by Isaac Nonyane and mixed by Musa Maseko, Babe Waitse Keng carries the warmth and authenticity of a song made with intention. The accompanying music video deepens the experience, visually expanding the themes of longing, emotional fatigue, and love’s quiet frustrations.
Behind the music is Dimakatso Chauke, born on 28 September 1995 and proudly rooted in Tembisa, with her upbringing in Phomolong township shaping both her voice and her perspective. Her musical journey began in church, where her love for singing took form, before evolving into studio collaborations and solo releases. After debuting with Thought I Was Over You and following up with I Don’t Need No Friend, Dimakatso continued to sharpen her artistry under the mentorship of Isaac Nonyane, who recognized her potential early on.
Inspired by artists like Adele and Black Coffee, Dimakatso’s sound reflects emotional depth paired with dance-ready rhythms—music that moves the body while speaking to the heart. With Babe Waitse Keng, she takes another confident step toward sharing her voice with a wider, global audience.
As the song continues to resonate with listeners navigating love, patience, and emotional honesty, one thing is clear: Dimakatso isn’t just making house music—she’s telling stories people live every day.
