People Forgot Koko Was A Gospel Song – EL Speaks On Lyric That Changed Everything

Ghanaian musician EL has opened up about the real story behind his hit song Koko, and why many people misunderstood it.

Speaking on TV3’s Afternoon Show, EL said Koko missed out on a Gospel Song award nomination because of one line that became too popular.

The line in question is, By His grace there is no girl I no go fit run oh.

According to EL, even though Koko received nominations at the time, he was hurt that it was not considered in the Gospel Song category because of that one line.

He explained that the popularity of the line made many listeners forget that Koko was actually a gospel song.

EL made it clear that one line cannot change a gospel song into a secular song.

He revealed that Koko was born out of deep gratitude to God during a hard time in his life after he moved to the United States.

At that time, he had just moved into an almost empty apartment in East Orange, New Jersey, when producer Pee GH sent him the beat.

As he sat in the empty apartment and thought about how far he had come, the song started to flow.

EL said he did not have much on him at the time, but he felt an incredible sense of gratitude. What came out of him was a testimony that he could not have done it all by his own strength.

He said the song was his way of thanking God for how far He had brought him.
