He spoke with us on May 24 - eleven days after the grand final in Liverpool - and reminisced over the songwriting process, the decision to enter UMK 2023, and his reaction to the song's success at the song contest and on the charts.

    This is what the world needs more of; real people, real collaboration, real passion, real friendship, real having fun together, real creativity, that is where the true genius is, that is able to unite people all over the world, even though they don't have a clue about the language, but they can feel the vibe and get the energy. This is why this was and will be the people's song.

    The song is mind-blowingly good. It doesn’t often happen that you hear a song and love it instantly, and then listen to it on repeat for months. Cha cha cha has all the ingredients for a perfect song.

      I agree. I'm not sure they still understand what they achieved. 😄 But hopefully they will get lots of offers now. 🙂 After the ice hall gig I really started to notice the team behind Käärijä. So I hope we get more interviews with the team. 😊 (With good interviewers, not main stream media because their interviews usually suck). 😄

    Hyvä Kiro! 🤟🏻 Niin siistii kuulla tästä koko säädöstä ja biisin synnystä sun näkökulmasta. Ja mahtavaa, miten arvostavasti te koko tiimi puhutte aina toisistanne. Noi orgaanisen yhteistyön vibat pääty biisiin ja lavalle ja lopulta kaikkialle. Kiinnostavaa nähdä, mitä te kaikki teette jatkossa. Ja missä ja miten. Käärijän suussa suomen kieli tekee perin ihmeellisii juttuja 🔥, ja toivon ainoastaan, et hän aina pitää siitä kii.

    The Dallas Stars are in The National Hockey League and they made it to the semi-finals. During their games they would play Cha Cha Cha to get the crowd excited and to get them to sing along. Here’s to hoping that Cha Cha Cha will join We Will Rock You as an American and global sports anthem!
