What is known about Toni Matvienko's song “Dandelions”?
- The artist recorded this track back in February 2022. The author of the song is Ivan Klymenko. The singer said that out of all the compositions offered to her, she immediately chose this one – it resonated with her mood and reminded her of her own youth and perception of the world.
- Initially, the release was planned for May as a birthday present for Arsen Mirzoyan, but it was later postponed to the pre-New Year period. The artist explained this by the desire to support her listeners and give them a brighter mood during these difficult times.
- Due to a limited budget, a lyric video was released instead of a full-fledged clip. Tonya Matvienko spoke about this in an interview with “Korotko pro”.
- And although the track was released back in 2022, real success came to it only at the end of 2024, the song still remains popular among listeners.
