The song was written and composed in merely 30 minutes according to the singer because as she puts it: “I was so inspired and happy!”

In reference to the lifting of the ban that disabled female drivers from hopping behind the wheels in Saudi Arabia, the singer stated: “I’m so happy the time has come. I’m proud of my country for lifting the ban and for showing us that it’s our time now. I’m also so proud of the women in my country for being brave, for knowing how strong we are and for constantly having the drive that keeps pushing us forward to make positive change.”
