Of the making of the track Kungs has said,’It’s a track I produced in my bedroom. I just heard the track on You Tube and I fell in love with it. I told myself that I really had to remix it and to add my personal touch. I didn’t expect such success, it was a strange blend and I thought that people wouldn’t understand the track, so I was really happy when I saw that the radio was playing it.’

The vocals on the original and the remix are provided by Kylie Auldist who comes from Broken Hill, Australia. She has provided vocals for many artists, as well as releasing five solo studio Albums between 2008-2020. The songs lyrics tell of a rich guy trying to buy a girl’s affections with gifts, but he is failing, because for her there is nothing more precious than ‘A heart that feels, and a heart that’s true.’

‘Money rains from the sky above, but keep the change ’cause I’ve got enough. A little time and some tenderness, you’ll never buy my love.’
