My also noted how Gelo remained collaborative throughout the project, from recording to filming the music video. She shared that he was open to direction and put effort into refining his parts, including adding his own flow to the rap she had written.
Gelo, for his part, admitted he initially felt nervous about working abroad, especially with the language barrier. Still, he said My helped make the environment more comfortable.
