Static and Jordi worked on the song for months and recording took place over three days.[4][5] The song's title literally translates as "this is small for us," a popular Israeli adage more accurately meaning "we got this."[2][6] The theme of the song is that Israel has gotten through other challenges and will likewise get through the pandemic.[7] As of July 2022, the official music video had more than 22 million views on YouTube.[8]
Forty Israeli artists appeared on the track, including many who had competed on and/or won Eurovision Song Contests and reality singing shows The X Factor Israel and Kokhav Nolad.[9] All artists volunteered their time for the project.[2]
