Released on May 29, 2026, “Sema Ukweli” appears as the fifth and final track on The Lick Back EP. The title translates from Swahili as “Tell the Truth,” setting the emotional tone for a song that asks for honesty when love is no longer the same.
Unlike the bolder and more confrontational moments on The Lick Back, “Sema Ukweli” brings the project to a vulnerable ending. Nikita Kering sings from the pain of being trapped in a repeated cycle of disappointment, where one partner seems emotionally absent but still refuses to fully let go.
The central message is direct and deeply personal: if the love is gone, the truth is better than continued confusion. Through the plea “Ka hunipendi, sema ukweli,” Nikita Kering turns heartbreak into a powerful demand for clarity, respect, and peace.
With its mid-tempo R&B sound, emotional writing, and expressive vocal delivery, “Sema Ukweli” highlights Nikita Kering’s growth as an artist and storyteller, closing The Lick Back with one of its most honest and affecting moments.
