In 2020,during an episode of A State of Trance,van Buuren explained to Ruben de Ronde the context of production of the track :“I was bullied by a couple of guys and i was afraid to go outside,so i was afraid of the ‘blue’,afraid of the light of the blue skies. I got over that,thank god,but yeah... That's the true story.” [3]
