A live performance of the song was released via music performance platform ColorsxStudios onto YouTube and digital streaming platforms a day earlier.[1]
Composition
"On and On" is an R&B<ref name="BB" /> song characterized by Tyla's "old school" vocals, its "danceable" rhythms and "ethereal" instrumental.[2] Joel Ontong, a contemporary music critic at News24, described it as "a great song to just groove to; the subdued atmosphere makes for an intimate experience, heightened by Tyla's luscious vocal performance."
Live performances
Tyla first performed the song on German music performance platform ColorsxStudios, with the video premiering alongside the release of the song on 30 November 2023.[3] [4] She also performed the song in a medley with "Truth or Dare" and "Water" during the 2024 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve television special.[5]
