How a Presidential Speech and a Wild Facebook Comment Section Turned Into a Viral Song
Sometimes music begins in a studio.
Sometimes it begins in a notebook.
And sometimes… it begins in a Facebook comment section reacting to a presidential speech.
This is the story of how a speech by President Hakainde Hichilema, a debate about relationships, and hundreds of hilarious online reactions turned into the song “Ubuhule Aweh.”
But the most surprising part of this story is this:
The internet didn’t just react to the speech.
It unknowingly wrote the entire song.
THE MOMENT THAT SPARKED EVERYTHING
During a public address, President Hakainde Hichilema shared advice directed toward young women.
His message was simple but powerful.
Instead of chasing older men with money, young women should consider building a future with young, promising men — people they could grow with, build businesses with, and start families with.
The speech immediately spread online.
Within minutes, Facebook did what Facebook always does.
The comment section exploded.
Not with anger.
But with humor, sarcasm, debate, and brutal honesty.
THE FACEBOOK COMMENTS THAT STARTED THE SONG
Below are the exact comments that inspired the lyrics.
At first they appear random.
Some are jokes.
Some are sarcasm.
Some are genuine reactions.
But when you read them carefully, a pattern emerges.
They all revolve around one unforgettable phrase.
THE LINE THAT BECAME THE CHORUS
One comment summarized everything in just three words:
“In short, ubuhule aweh.”
Those three words became the heartbeat of the song.
Why?
Because they captured the entire debate happening online.
Some people agreed with the president.
Some people disagreed.
Others simply turned the moment into comedy.
But everyone understood the message.
WHY THE COMMENTS WERE LEFT UNCHANGED
At Soundwork Studios, one creative rule remained constant:
Never rewrite the internet.
The comments stayed exactly as they appeared.
Nothing was added.
Nothing was removed.
They were only rearranged to create rhythm, storytelling, and musical flow.
Because sometimes the internet writes lines that are already perfect lyrics.
TURNING FACEBOOK CHAOS INTO A SONG
Here’s how the comment section was transformed into music.
1️⃣ THE INTRO: PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO HEAR THE MESSAGE
The song begins with confusion and chaos.
- “Munza nvela che ati we didn’t hear you Mr President, it was noisy bana aba hmmm”
- “Such advice coming from the president aweh you just have to listen”
This captures the moment when the message first spreads online.
People are trying to interpret what was said.
Some are laughing.
Others are taking it seriously.
2️⃣ THE CHORUS: THE INTERNET’S FINAL VERDICT
Then comes the phrase that summarizes the entire conversation.
Ubuhule aweh.
Repeated again and again.
Why repeat it?
Because that’s how social media works.
Once a powerful phrase appears in the comments, it becomes the official slogan of the discussion.
3️⃣ VERSE ONE: THE PRESIDENT’S MAIN MESSAGE
- “The Key word there is Young Promising guy”
- “not umukote, not ichipuba”
- “The smile on her seems to suggest mwakamba late slogan”
- “Someone said ukamba weka they don’t listen these girls ba hyali”
This verse reflects the core argument.
Build with someone who has potential.
Not just someone who already has money.
But the internet, of course, refuses to treat the topic seriously for long.
4️⃣ VERSE TWO: REALITY STRIKES BACK
- “The girl in Red, then hunger will kill me, No way dad”
- “You mean I should dump my 50 year old man Wala ba presido”
- “Lets search for my soulmate before I become sugar daddy mu single”
Here the jokes reveal the real conflict.
Love versus survival.
Romance versus financial security.
And suddenly the conversation becomes very real.
5️⃣ THE BRIDGE: THE OLD MEN RESPOND
Then comes the funniest part of the entire comment section.
- “60 years old me listening to this while crushing for ka 19 years old girl mu neighbor”
- “You finishing our market presido”
- “Umo tamuli salt”
- “Then someone says students are sweet”
- “It’s the other way round daddy they are the ones hunting us married men”
This moment flips the story completely.
Now the older men feel personally attacked.
And they respond the only way the internet knows how:
With jokes.
6️⃣ THE OUTRO: THE FINAL OBSERVATION
- “Ba 2 pini you have heard”
- “Even Bally has been briefed that ubuhule bwa chilamo among youths”
By the end of the song, the debate isn’t just about relationships anymore.
It becomes a commentary on modern dating culture.
Who should date who?
Why?
And who gets to decide?
THE FINAL RESULT: WHEN POLITICS MEETS INTERNET CULTURE
@soundworkstudios The girl in Red was like, I'll die with hunger 🤣🤣 #SoundWorkStudios #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #tiktokzm #FYP #TikTokZambia ♬ original sound – Soundwork Studios
Here is the Tiktok best version of the song
When the lyrics were finally recorded, something strange happened.
A political speech turned into entertainment.
A comment section turned into a chorus.
And suddenly people weren’t just debating the message anymore.
They were singing it.
WHY “UBUHULE AWEH” WORKS
The song works because it captures something uniquely African about internet culture.
Serious topics rarely stay serious online.
People turn them into jokes.
Memes.
Songs.
And somehow those jokes end up revealing deeper truths about society.
WHAT THIS SONG PROVES
The internet is constantly creating culture.
Most of it disappears within hours.
But sometimes…
someone notices the rhythm hiding inside the comments.
And when that happens, a simple debate becomes something more.
A story.
A song.
A moment.
