Review

This song talks about friendship, love relationships and how surprising to love friends is, despite they can not always be there when you need them, besides, it talks of the importance of them day by day, sharing any moment wheter it is a good one or not.

When talking about love, the song says that Alex can not believe how more beautiful her feelings can be in comparison with her external appearence.

Its beat invites us to enjoy it.

No explicit themes.

In the video we can watch the artist in a dark stage , with a light wall behind him, in the middle of the video on that wal we can see some images of him singing the song around the city.
