The Amapiano music sensation decided to go into "hiding" on a mission to restore her faith and find herself in the process. The singer and dancer told the news publication that she has always worked since she dropped her first hit, which thrust her into the spotlight.

The singer mentioned that her break was also a way to get closer to God and fix her relationship with him.

"When I felt like I was losing that, I had to stop everything and restart."

The star went into the break with no goals in mind, adding that she has seen God's work in her life during that period.

Cooper said after her break, she felt rejuvenated, fresh, and with a sharp focus. She also announced that she has a few songs in the vault which are ready for public consumption. In her recent Instagram post, Pabi shared a snippet of what she has been cooking in the studio.

“[Those songs] didn’t feel like me at all. I remember being in my hotel room, and my managers were calling me, ‘Come down, we need to cut the song.’ I was crying and thinking, ‘This is not what I want. I didn’t get signed to do this.’ They had to [coax] me out of that room. But I think that through doing that, I realised how much more I love African music. It made me more persistent in keeping my ideas.”
