“Dammī” holds significant meaning to my Palestinian/Jordanian heritage. My heart sincerely empathizes with everyone currently enduring the hardships of war in the Middle East.

The composition incorporates instruments and sounds from a renowned song that sheds light on the ongoing situation in the Middle East. I firmly believe that change is attainable, but it requires collective efforts from all parties involved.
