The song’s Rhumba-inspired rhythm adds a soulful touch to the heartfelt message, evoking emotions of nostalgia, romance, and gratitude.
Diana as the Star of the Music Video
Diana, who has always been supportive of Bahati’s music career, took on an even more personal role in Cherie. She starred as the video vixen, which she revealed had been her own idea. “From the very first day that my husband @bahatikenya came home and played Cherie straight from the studio, I fell in love with it,” Diana shared on her social media. “I told him I would volunteer to be his video vixen for FREE, and voila… #DIANAB in action!
