" I learned the song through the video of Onset Music Group and their Spotify cover. A good friend of mine had the original and DJs it but when I heard that cover I really fell in love.
"I searched the lyrics on google and found a rough translation. It was the song itself and the feelings it gave me that drew me to learning it! When I found the translation it also struck such deep chords in my heart."
