During the school break, artist Emma Svensson from Ljusdal coached children and youth in how to write country songs in Järvsö, Sweden. She stated that writing a song does not need to be complicated. After just one hour, participants had created both verses and a chorus for a new collaborative country song.

One participant, Lohe Säfström from Järvsö, said the song is about the house where they were and what they do when they have a break from school. All four participants expressed a desire to continue with music afterward. Emma Svensson, a country artist who lives in Stockholm but is originally from Ljusdal, discovered country music early and traveled to Nashville at age 19 to develop as an artist.
