Los Angeles, California (June 25, 2025)- Colombian-American artist Chika Di has released her most intimate and personal single to date: “I Say Yes,” a tender bachata-pop track inspired by her own love story. Written after her 2022 engagement and produced alongside her husband Michael Costanzo (Good Bear), the song marks an emotional and sonic turning point in her artistic journey—a luminous, heart-forward declaration that celebrates love not just as a feeling, but as a daily choice.
“I Say Yes” blends the gentle pulse of traditional bachata with rich, contemporary pop textures. Featuring elegant guitar work by Tomas Salcedo and mastered by Evan Wilber, the song emerges as a timeless piece of sonic intimacy, designed to be danced to slowly—whether at weddings, quiet living rooms, or in cherished headphone moments.
“The lyrics were born right after he proposed,” Chika shares. “I had fragments written before—from my journals and voice memos—but that moment became the thread that tied it all together. I wanted something couples could dance to for their first dance, but that also reflected the quiet commitment of daily love, not just the ceremony.”
Rather than chase viral trends, “I Say Yes” is a modern classic in the making—sincere, melodic, and grounded in emotional authenticity. In an era where love is often filtered, stylized, and sold through digital perfection, Chika Di offers a raw alternative: a promise with roots.
Since launching her solo career in 2020, Chika Di has carved out her own niche in the world of independent Latin music. Her emotive voice and unmistakable Colombian heritage have landed her features in hit series such as Euphoria, Generation, and Gentefied, as well as a national McDonald’s Hispanic Heritage Month campaign powered by her song “Oh La La.”
Before her solo debut, she spent over a decade touring North America with the band La Misa Negra, sharing the stage with artists like Bomba Estéreo, Julieta Venegas, Ana Tijoux, Mon Laferte, and Flor de Toloache. Her path has always been shaped by DIY ethos, cultural activism, and an unwavering commitment to community—values she lives every day while raising four children with her partner in an artistically collaborative and non-traditional home life.
“I Say Yes” is more than just a love song; it’s a quiet revolution. Vulnerable, mature, and profoundly free, it’s the kind of song you might hear at a wedding—or play after a hard day, when choosing love still feels like the most radical act of all.
The song is available now, with the official video and audio available upon request. For fans of sincere storytelling, genre fusion, and music that prioritizes emotional truth over spectacle, “I Say Yes” is an invitation to slow down and feel something real.
