ABOUT THE SONG
​Zarema’s deeply emotional gothic pop ballad offers a poignant tribute to the resilience and love of mothers and children displaced by war. Inspired by real stories of refugees, the song captures the indescribable strength of those enduring unimaginable hardships.
​The accompanying black-and-white music video, directed by renowned filmmaker Marc Klasfeld (bestknown for his work on Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again”), features real refugee mothers and their children, many of whom have fled active war zones. Zarema shares that while working on the video,
“I could see my nieces and nephews in those beautiful children,” adding a deeply personal layer to this already moving visual story.
