In a video shared on Disclosure's YouTube channel approximately two weeks after the song's release,Diawara explains that "douha" means "prayer",and that the song itself is a cry for help on behalf of her country. Mali,a diverse and historically conflict-laden West African republic,underwent a coup d'état just a mere week after the track came out.
