How did you get on board for the official Euro 2012 song?
Last year, I was working on my album and I didn’t think about football or Euro 2012. I came up with an idea for a song with my producer; the original version of the song was an acoustic Reggae track. When the football federation (FIFA) heard the song, they loved it and felt that the melody and the chorus were nice and perfect for football stadiums. That’s how Endless Summer became the official song for Euro 2012. It made me very happy and it was an honour because I love football, since it makes people happy all over the world. What also helped was that I am known in Europe and I got success with my first album Love Supply in Poland and Ukraine. That’s why they decided to work with me because people in the European countries were aware of my music.



What is the most interesting aspect of the song?
The best part is the chorus. It is so easy, yet catchy. I love it. I have performed the song lately at a lot of places where people sing along. They become a part of the performance.
