It was composed and written by Tzvika Pik and Yoav Ginai, the same team who composed the Eurovision winning song Diva for Dana International in 1998.
Sarit Hadad, a member of an all–musicians family, started to perform professionally at the age of eight.

She sings in French, English, Arabic, Georgian, Caucasian, Turkish, and of course, Hebrew.
