Renowned Ghanaian gospel musician Diana Hamilton has detailed how her much-anticipated Aha Ye song, featuring legendary singer Elder Mireku, came about.
In an interview on TV3 shared on X on February 5, 2026, the gospel singer revealed that the collaboration was not planned.
According to Diana Hamilton, the song was birthed during a moment of worship at Elder Mireku’s residence, adding that the collaboration came effortlessly.

“It happened from the onset. When I started writing it, I found myself in Elder Mireku’s house, and we were writing the song and just worshipping. Then the song came to my mind. I put it in and realised that even though it is an all-English song, there is something he is doing that is bringing the song alive,” she said.
Sharing how South African singer Ntokozo became part of the song, the gospel musician noted that her involvement was also unplanned.
According to her, Ntokozo’s name simply came to mind, and after reaching out to her for a feature, she did not hesitate.
“But when I thought of Ntokozo, I remembered we were driving, and then she came to mind. That was when I knew it was her and how easily it all came together.
“When I called her, she said, ‘I don’t need to hear it, I’m on it, just tell me when.’ She didn’t ask to hear the song until a few days before she was about to fly down, and that was when she said, ‘When you’re done with the song, can I listen?’” she added.
