In the popular Israeli folk dance song “Maleh” (meaning “full” or “filled with joy”), the phrase “you make my heart go zip” expresses a sudden, electric thrill — like a zip of excitement or a heartbeat skipping. It’s often sung during fast-paced circle dances.

If you enjoy the vibe of "You Make My Heart Go," you should explore Maleh’s broader work, which often blends Neo-Soul with traditional Sesotho elements:

Maleh (born Malehloka Mary Hlalele) first captured international recognition with her 2012 debut solo album, Step Child . Her follow-up album, You Make My Heart Go , marked a significant evolution in her career.

Her 2011 debut album, Step Child , announced her as a powerful solo force, earning a South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best African Adult Album and nominations for Album of the Year. But it was her 2014 follow-up that would truly capture lightning in a bottle.

That breathlessness that comes with a new, exciting romance.

: For collectors wanting to track down the original physical CD releases or legal digital file distributions.

"You Make My Heart Go" is the title of the second studio album by the Lesotho-born, South African-based singer (Malehloka Hlalele), released in November 2014

Consider the difference:
