This collaboration happened at the perfect time; I say this because, in addition to the musical growth we’ve experienced over the years, there’s also been professional growth. Now we have the confidence to navigate different styles” – ALOK
“The desire for this partnership isn’t recent; Alok and I have known each other for a long time. I’ve always been dedicated to bringing sonic diversity to my music—it’s something my audience expects. This collaboration is yet another proof of that. I’ve always admired Alok’s work, and producing this song with him is the result of a union of strengths and a lot of hard work” – Anitta
