Background

In an interview with Israeli magazine “At”, Netta revealed that the sound of the animal in the song links back to her childhood and growing up in Nigeria. When Barzilai was around 6 years old, her family moved to Nigeria for her father's job. During her time there she fell in love with rhinos and featured their sound in the song, following the chicken sounds in “Toy.” [1]
