Conception and background

"Ndoki" was written and composed by Fally Ipupa and recorded and produced in France. The song's lyrics are about a woman who broke a man's heart by leaving him. He calls her "Ndoki" (Lingala for "Witch") for leaving him with heartache.

Ndoki eza kaka synonyme ya maseke na moto te = "Witch" is not only a synonym of having horns on ones head
Po na zamba ba niama mpe baza na yango na moto = Because some animals in the forest do have horns
Kasi ezali synonyme ya oyo azo lukela moninga liwa = But it is the synonym of someone who wants another to die
Ndoki ya vie na ngai eza yo, cherie = You are the witch of my life, sweetheart

"Ndoki" was included on Ipupa's third studio album Power "Kosa Leka" (2013), which was released on iTunes Store, YouTube and Google Play Music with no promotion having taken place.
