Background.
According to the duo, the song brings a message of wanting women to put aside their differences and drama to get along together. The song does not talk about literal sisters; however, it does talk about women "putting their sisters down", meaning their fellow compatriots. Carlotta, in an interview with Eurovision fansite Wiwibloggs, had said that the duo "want to be the women who will help other women grow".
