From Director Bradley Hasse:

We were at home on a Saturday night in lockdown in France (moved there, away from our home outside of NYC, for a few years starting in the midst of this pandemic craziness), my wife Violette wrote a melody, asked if I’d join in on writing some lyrics. We did. We had fun. We liked what we did. We decided to talk about making a music video. We got a few, great local collaborators to help. We made said music video.

The video was inspired by our kids’ Playmobil toys. There’s a pandemic going on. We wanted to make something joyful. The only safe party we could throw was with toys, so that’s what we did.

Well - Playmobil happens to be an awesome company. They want people to really play with their product. They want people to interact. They want people to make things that make themselves happy, and apparently, they want this to all be shared with them as well! Because, they saw our video and decided to share it with all of their fans on their various social media channels.

Cut-downs were created as well, including :30 second versions with the intro dubbed into French and English for broadcast spots aired around Europe before the holiday.
