Mabel Matiz had made a statement on his social media account regarding the developments.
In his post, the artist stated, "My songs have always been inspired by many areas of life and have described life itself. In a product that has emerged with my writing style, everyone, every listener, can find personal meanings that belong to them and relate to them. This is the attractive and beautiful side of art and literature anyway."
In his statement, he also said, "This song tells a love story through metaphors, emulating the tradition of folk literature."
