"The intention for this song was constant - write a gutsy, hopeful song. The lyrics came out of heartfelt discussions and story-sharing while we explored ways to strike the right melodic balance." - Alexis Pantelides
"The song’s funky vibe helped with having an enjoyable recording of the backing vocals." - Panayi
"Groovy drums and funky bass line with strings. Love it" - Stefanos Arestis
"I felt this was very far away from me as an artist. But I found ways to add elements so I could identify with the song, mostly my guitar part and a violin part Maris played. By the end of writing the song, we felt so convinced of this song." - Tamara van Esch
"A piece that I'm very happy to have contributed songwriting to. With Alexis and Tamara we tried to capture the moments of recovery after dark period, moments that will surely come, and I think we made it." - Vasilis Papadopoulos
