"On and On" is a song by South African singer Tyla from her debut studio album Tyla (2024). It was released alongside two other tracks on 1 December 2023 through Fax and Epic Records as a promotional single from the album.[1] A live performance of the song was released via music performance platform ColorsxStudios onto YouTube and digital streaming platforms a day earlier.[2]

Composition[edit]

"On and On" is an R&B[2] song characterized by Tyla's "old school" vocals,[2] its "danceable" rhythms and "ethereal" instrumental.[1] Joel Ontong, a contemporary music critic at News24, described it as "a great song to just groove to; the subdued atmosphere makes for an intimate experience, heightened by Tyla's luscious vocal performance."[1]

Live performances[edit]

Tyla first performed the song on German music performance platform ColorsxStudios, with the video premiering alongside the release of the song on 30 November 2023.[3][4] She also performed the song in a medley with "Truth or Dare" and "Water" during the 2024 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve television special.[5]
