Donny, the keyboardist of LNR, shared the unique process of creating the song. The production was done simply but resulted in extraordinary harmonization. Everything was done at home, from discussions to recordings.

“All the processes were done at home, so we didn’t go to the studio. We talked about the music, had to compose for three different vocal ranges, and we entrusted everything to Sandy as the music director,” Donny revealed.
