Speaking about the collaboration, Shapov said: “I am super happy to make this collaboration! I personally always love emotional vocal music with big toplines and cool chords progressions. We used some live guitar and bass sounds with a rock influence and mixed them with electronic sounds and amazing vocals by KiFi. You can expect more of those vibes on my next songs – Belong with Axwell, Breathing Deeper, Some People, The Way and Chasing Shadows. I love to make big emotional sounds and melodies, it’s a bright part of me. With Light Up The World it was amazing to work with AVIAN GRAYS and KiFi to make this great symbiosis between us.” – Shapov.

“Nothing can hold you back, even in a dark place you can always find the light in you. With what’s been going in the world we wanted to write something that really everyone could come together and sing and relate to when we were finally allowed to be reunited.” – KiFi.

“Working with Shapov and KiFi on this track has been an absolute pleasure. Like KiFi said it’s all about finding the light, because even in the darkest of times, it’s there. Especially on the dancefloor. Let’s dance again!” – AVIAN GRAYS
