We are happy and feel pressured to have been entrusted with such a memorable moment. However, there are people who we want to be happy, and there is a continuation of exciting days to come. We hope that this song, which we poured our heart out into, will reach all those lives that are to be happy!!! So, let's all go on an adventure together and see where the story ends!!!!"
