Is there a tilde in ''gozalo''?

Is there a tilde in ''gozalo''?

I'm familiar with the process of adding tildes on certain words when putting them en imperative conjugation with the pronoun attached. In this instance, I'm trying to use the verb ''gozar'' (to enjoy) en the sense of telling my girlfriend to enjoy something I've done for her and I'm simply telling ''gozalo''. That just looks like it's missing a tilde and I know not all words require the tilde, and half the time we're texting short-hand Spanish, but I like to know the proper way to do things as well. Any feedback welcome.

Saludos,

DJ ((( d(-_-)b )))

When you append a pronoun(s) to a word you maintain the stress on the syllable that it was on before you attached the pronoun(s).

Therefore,

go za (grave) +lo = gózalo (esdrújula) (informal, affrimative command)

I checked with a native speaker " gózalo" ( enjoy it ) should have a tilde.
