The catchy chorus translated to mean "I won't forget". The single conveys a depth of emotions as Nonzo opens himself up and expresses his experiences from a period of hiatus - in darkness, absorbing pain, battling depression and at the same time dealing with a loss. These bitter moments have made for a melodious sweet escape as he digs through his emotions to find light again.

Nonzo's vocal texture and melody allows him to turn his pain into a powerful song that will have listeners looking forward to more from the rising star.
