Johannes Persson commented on the collaboration:
“As a rule of life, I try to say ‘yes’ more often than ‘no’. What I didn’t know was that Vøvk wanted me to sing in Ukrainian, a language I don’t speak, understand, or have any real grasp of. But hey, why not? All I could do was give it my best. I’m happy with the result and genuinely proud that Vøvk put their trust in me.”
Vøvk frontman Oleksandr Kuts echoed this sentiment, stating:
“This song needed a sense of support and unity, and this partnership with Johannes Persson is not only a creative choice but also a meaningful act of solidarity. He deeply understands the Ukrainian context, and his decision to sing in Ukrainian – a language he doesn’t speak – shows his genuine commitment and personal convictions. He delivered it authentically, sincerely, and with his signature sound. We’re endlessly grateful for his trust, courage, and connection to our story.”
