Everyone needs a little pick-me-up every now and then. Thankfully Norwegian producer Matoma seems to have picked up on this, releasing a summer hit that acknowledges the bruises we all get from the rough patches in life, but also confidently states that things will ultimately be okay in the end. The lyrics are powerful and encouraging, supported by light, airy beats and strong vocals from MNEK and Kiana Ledé, whose voices add a deeper connection to the track, and elevate this hit to the next level.

Grammy award-winning British singer MNEK starts the song with his deep tones and beautiful vocal runs, introducing a glum past of hardships that he quickly transitions with a hopeful, persevering melody full of determination and optimism. Ledé’s powerful and passionate voice adds emotional intensity to the track, taking the melancholy mood upward. Hear it for yourself below!

Matoma manages to create an uplifting single that is perfect for long summer days and fits right in with those hot summer nights.
