Why Pallaso Once Disliked His Own Song ‘Soma’

Ugandan musician Pallaso has revealed that his song Soma was once difficult for him to embrace.

After releasing the track, Pallaso organized a concert centered around it, hoping it would be a major moment in his career.

The show fell short of expectations, and the low turnout left him disappointed.

For a long time, Soma reminded him of that setback, making it hard for him to even enjoy the song.

Years later, the story changed.

Pallaso began noticing Soma playing at graduation ceremonies, with students sharing videos as they celebrated completing their studies.

Others told him the song had motivated them to stay focused in school and work toward their goals.

Seeing that response shifted his perspective.

What he once associated with disappointment has become one of his most meaningful songs after seeing how people have embraced it.
