Speaking to Lovin Malta, Debrii was just happy to see “the national treasure” that is Simpatiċi’s theme song being appreciated. 

“I didn’t expect as big as a reaction as it’s had, that’s for sure,” he smiled. “It’s nice to see different people come together, I did it somewhat jokingly because I think we need to stop taking everything so seriously and just indulge in a little light-hearted fun, especially in such circumstances.”

“But then as I was making it, it started to slap and I went with it,” he laughed. “It brings a lot of laughs and smiles and at the end of the day that’s all that matters.”

The only question we have left is – is a Dejjem Tiegħek Becky remix in the works?
