The singers appeared very confident, their stage performance was good and they were very well-received by those present, said reports from Istanbul.

Immediately after rehearsals, a press conference was held. Those present asked various questions about Julie and Ludwig and were interested in details about their private lives. The fact that they actually are a couple seemed to attract a lot of attention.

Gerard James Borg, the lyricist, told journalists how he came up with the title song and explained how it was written around the couple’s real life story.

When asked about the innovative combination of the song, composer Philip Vella said it had been made specifically for the singers’ voices.
