As promised, Levi has delivered a ‘modern pop’ song in his preferred style. The song premiered on Mejor Contigo on the Spanish TV channel La 1 and was composed by David Roma, who said the following about the song:
It is said that children are the hope of a new world, of a better world. All children should laugh, dance, dream and there’s no one better than them to begin today to forge that future full of colours, bright and luminous, that houses their dreams come true.
David Roma, composer of “Reír”
