In 2008, a new version of the hit was recorded in collaboration with Timati. The song was performed on the Muz-TV Awards, together with Thirty Seconds to Mars, Morandi, Jennifer Lopez and stars of the Russian pop scene.

A reworked version of this song, with the alternative refrain "Russia Never Sleeps", accompanied the Russian bid presentation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup[1].

The melody and rhythmical base of the song is very close to the track "The Traveler" by Andrew Sega (written for the video game Crusader: No Remorse), though it is unknown if the similarity is occasional or intended.

Content

The song is sung in both English and Russian (Я люблю тебя, Москва, meaning "I love you, Moscow"). It is an ode to the titular city of Moscow.
