Hamid El Shaeri himself oversaw the artistic direction and handled the mixing and mastering, ensuring the final work reflects his unique artistic signature.
The lyrics of the song express deep feelings of longing and nostalgia, with standout lines such as:

Is this for real… or am I imagining… seeing you right here before me
Could it be… that what’s in my mind is coming true
Is it really you… or just an image in my memory
Where were you and where was my contentment… I’ve been searching for you
I keep asking everywhere… if anyone saw you, they’d take me to you
Could it be that we’re truly back together now… and the best part is that we both feel the same
Even our features are just the same, folks… we haven’t aged, nor have the years changed us
