On the eve of the anniversary show \! 30 years" This is a composition about growing up, self-acceptance and the power of unity. The track was born from personal experience, but became a story about everyone - and was inspired by the Ukrainians who, together with the group, joined the performance at the moment of its creation at one of the concerts.
The song is available for listening on all platforms.
The leader of the group, Valery Kharchyshin, admits: in the text he tried to honestly talk about his own path - from rebellion to acceptance. " I am no different from any other person - with the same imperfect habits, with the same problems that I have overcome throughout my life.. This is a story about accepting yourself – with all the negative traits,” says the musician.
However, the song quickly goes beyond autobiography. Kharchyshyn emphasizes: even if he started with his own story, he wanted to end it with a story about “us”. " About the moment when it becomes obvious that losing each other is too high a price.
The inspiration for the central image was lines from the poetry of Vasily Simonenko - “Each “I” has its own name”. It was this idea that formed the basis of the song: “we are not many standard selves, but many different universes”. And strength is not in sameness, but in difference and the ability to become “we” when it is really needed.
The name of the composition is also no coincidence. According to Kharchyshyn, today the very concept of “WE” is often missing – in couples, families, in society. Without it, co-creation and coexistence disappear.
“When we are together, we are strong,” says the musician. The song was created with the thought of a big show in the capital: “I specifically wrote this song to hear you at the Sports Palace. I imagined ten thousand people singing " And I’m looking forward to the moment when we play it together,” he adds.
“MI” will be performed live for the first time on March 8, 2026 during the anniversary show “I am! 30 years" The concert will be the central event of the group’s 30th anniversary: \u200b\u200bthe audience will enjoy an exclusive show, premieres of songs from the new album and well-known hits in an updated sound.
The anniversary show has a charitable purpose.
Together with partners, the group collects 15 million hryvnia in support of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The funds will be used for a boat for evacuation missions to rescue scouts, MAVIC 3T drones and server equipment. Part of the proceeds from ticket sales is automatically included in the collection..
To attract attention to the charity initiative, the group, together with its partners, released the video “Already not a catfish” - an ironic remake of the legendary hit “Already not a catfish”. You can join the collection and make a donation using the link.
