The artist emphasised that in a world facing numerous challenges, including rising suicide rates and natural disasters, people need uplifting and hopeful music.
“We’re going through crazy times, and the world needs more happy songs. This album should serve as a place of solace where people can come, listen, and find joy even amidst difficulties,” Bensoul added.

Bensoul shared that Cindy has changed him in many positive ways, particularly in how he approaches commitment.
“She’s transformed me in so many ways. The best kind of love is one where you’re willing to commit and give your all,” he explained. “When you find something good, you keep it.”
Bensoul’s comments on relationships come years after his breakup with long-term girlfriend Noni Gathoni.
