Artist comments
Alexandros Goudas:

What we were trying to do with our lead single was something that would blow our fans mind, something that  they can relate on when they are enjoying a ride with their  lover,  or something that they just listen and fill up with joy. And I think that we've accomplished this.

Daniel:

Working with Goudas was an amazing experience and I'm so happy he chose me to produce his album. Writing, recording and producing "Yγρές Λάμπες" was so fun and tiring at the same time. It took me 3 hours to complete the whole song, and I believe the result was more than satisfying. I'm really happy the reviews are positive, which motivates me and Alex to do more music together.
