The song for Dimash was written by Kazakh authors – song writer Yedilzhan Gabbasov, who has been in music industry for more than twenty years, and the singer’s backing vocalist Jordan Arakelyan, who again acted as a lyrics writer.
Yedilzhan Gabbasov shares that the melody and the main line were born quite quickly. Then a team of musicians worked on the track for 2-3 months.
“Inspiration came to me one quiet evening when a tune suddenly turned up in my head. I started humming it out loud and immediately thought of Dimash’s voice. And then, I realized that I would really like him to be the one to sing that song”
