The single comes with a great music video and is an international anthem about finding strength through when things get hard in a relationship. “I’ve worked on the song a few years ago but never dropped it. I was waiting for the right time, the right moment, and the right feature to embody this Arabic and Latin world the song has. Fonsi was the perfect name that came to mind. And he nailed it right away. We both see eye to eye and want to create a bridge between Latin and Arabic cultures. He wrote his own lyrics, and they beautifully blended with the Arabic I sing. The song is nostalgic, melodic, and rhythmic and has a mix of both Latino and Arabic cultures. It has a very happy and positive ring to it,” Tawaji said via a press release.
