This song is track number 12 on his album “Testimony” and was produced by August Alsina and The Exclusives.
Wow! I love this song. I don’t know if it’s the music or the message that I love the most in this song. I am really happy that August made such an amazing song and wrote such beautiful lyrics as well. Even though the song reminds me of “Moving Mountains” by Usher, I don’t think that will make me love this song less.

Here’s what Lovic has to say about this song:
“This song’s message so just amazing. It reminds me how much mama’s advices are important and valuable to build our lives.
Having the possibility to show her how good we became it’s not given to everybody. I know a lot about that. This song just reminds me how much I love my mum and how much I would love to see her proud of the man I became”
