A reworked version of this song, with the alternative refrain "Russia Never Sleeps", accompanied the Russian bid presentation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[1]

The melody and rhythmical base of the song is very close to "Move on Baby" by the Italian group Cappella, though it is unknown if the similarity is occasional or intended.[2]

The song is sung in both English and Russian (Я люблю тебя, Москва, meaning "I love you, Moscow"). It is an ode to the titular city of Moscow.
