The song and music composition project leader, Logapreyan Renganathan, 42, said he came up with the song idea because he wanted to create something new and fresh to celebrate "SG50", the abbreviation of multi-racial Singapore's 50 years of independence.
"Song and dance are part of our Indian culture, so why not leverage on something we're proud of," Renganathan was quoted as saying by the Sunday Times.
It took a five-membered team six months to write the song and produce the music video that brings together 19 young performers and involves musical instruments such as a drum set, a lion dance (Chinese) drum, table and kompang (a Malay drum).
