Background and composition

Perspective
The song was written only by the artist herself[7] and fully composed by Nikolay Sosin, a Ukrainian television producer known in Belarus mostly as the music composer working for Belarusian talent show Factor.BY aired on Belarus-1.[8]
On 30 May 2025, the singer stated in an interview for Belarusian Telegraph Agency that at that point, the song did not yet have a title.[9]
The artist said in a comment for the Belteleradio's Pervyy informatsionnyy that the song "is dedicated for those who are looking for the strength to overcome challenges and believe in themselves. It's a reminder that we can all make our dreams come true."[10]
Additionally, it was noted on the Intervision's press release, that the song is based on the author's personal story. According to the article, Nastya Kravchenko "wrote it at a difficult time in her life, when external circumstances and internal fears and uncertainty almost forced her to give up her dreams of becoming a singer. However, she understood that the only way forward was to believe in herself and keep going, and she did not give up. Nastya conveyed her experiences in the song through the image of a moth – a symbol of transformation and hope. The lyrics are filled with metaphors: masks, fragile porcelain dolls and crystal tears symbolise human illusions and vulnerability. But the main message of the song – 'I am alive' – says that each of us is capable of overcoming any difficulties."[11]
