"It's just one of those records that needed to be absolutely perfect, from start to finish," said Don. "I wanted to it to stand out and combine three worlds into one. A Dutch music producer, an incredible British singer songwriter, and one of the biggest US rappers of today. I am more than proud of the final outcome and hope the music and the message of the song will motivate people to dream big and see beyond the clouds of their personal challenges."
