Have you wondered how Piesie Esther creates her lyrics? The Ghanaian gospel singer has finally opened up about it.
In an interview on Hitz FM, Esther revealed that her music comes to life in the most natural and unplanned ways, describing her songwriting as a flow that arrives without force or outside help.
She explained that inspirational ideas often strike at moments she least expects. She said this is why she has never depended on external writers, noting that her creativity is sustained through God’s grace.
“Every day, people are calling, recording and sending us lots of songs. I’m not singing them because I have enough. Anytime that I want to write a song, I’m able to do it by the grace of God. Nobody taught me how to write songs,” she said.
Piesie Esther indicated how she captures ideas the moment they come to her, wherever she may be.

“I get my inspirations randomly. I record bit by bit. There was one time I came up with a line in the bathroom, and I had to record it on my phone,” she stated.
According to her, the well-known line “Tell me where will I be” was created in the bathroom and recorded instantly so it would not slip away. “‘Tell me where will I be’, I got this line of the lyrics from the bathroom. I remember when I got the words, I recorded it on my phone immediately. If my phone is not close to me, I would just call my husband to get the phone for me, so no matter where I am, my phone is always close to me,” she divulged.
Piesie Esther further stated that prayer remains central to her process. She said she relies on divine direction before beginning any song.
“One thing I thank God for is that I go before God for direction of lyrics before writing a song. God being so good, without knowing what to do, a word will just drop into my ears. Before I realise, I’ve gotten the whole lyrics,” she added.
