»On August 4th, 2020, the Lebanese political class of a failing state destroyed its own capital and killed its own citizens through negligence and corruption. As engaged artists, we decided to fight back in the way we knew how: creating a song and video […]. To avoid being censored like in previous videos, we wrapped up the political critique in a bow and used the language of romance.« – Michelle and Noel Keserwany, Dania Bdeir
