On the eve of Valentine's Day, Sasha Norova, the widow of the ADAM frontman, did something special – she released the last song the musician wrote. She believes that people should hear it.
So, on February 13, the track “Strongly Strong” was released on all platforms, which Misha recorded back in May 2025, but did not have time to release, according to Norova's statement on social media.
The composition was written by the singer and his wife and is their personal story about love, life together, and travels around Ukraine. The lyrics of the song include real places and events: Uzhhorod, where the couple didn't have time to see the cherry blossoms because of their tour, Mykolaiv with its bridges that had been removed, roads, hotels, and the feeling of life between performances.
The chorus of the track appeared almost immediately – along with the phrase “I love you in Kyiv depressedly.” Later, this very word raised doubts, because Mykhailo and Sasha always sought to talk about light and love in their music. They tried to change the wording, but nothing else sounded so honest.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Mikhail's wife chose this particular date, on the eve of Valentine's Day.
