Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
IOWA and Ksenia Minaeva have released the track “Strong”, which touches on an important theme: true strength is not in relentless self-control, but in the ability to recognize your weaknesses and need support. The song calls for abandoning the toxic attitudes of “should” and “don’t”, suggesting that taking care of yourself is not a weakness, but a necessity for maintaining balance.
IOWA shares a personal story inspired by the Lycian Trail, where the phrase “everything can be done if one believes in oneself” has become a mantra that has helped overcome difficulties. Ksenia Minaeva agrees with this, stressing that the modern rhythm of life requires a conscious choice between constant race and concern for one’s own condition. “Strong” is an anthem for those who are willing to admit their vulnerability, reboot and not submit to grueling demands.
