UDD's Armi Millare collaborates with Norwegian pop jazz band D'Sound in the track, "Lykkelig." Bjørnar Strømsholm

When UDD's Armi Millare came up with the lyrics to "Lykkelig," her collaboration with pop-jazz band D'Sound, she explained that she chose to write it in Tagalog because she wanted to get non-Filipinos to sing along to the catchy track in our own language.

And while it is a little too early to see whether a crowd in Norway will belt out "lumipad" with her --the single was just released this month-- she at least got the Norwegian group's bassist Jonny Sjo to provide her with some backup vocals --yes, in Tagalog.

A music video for "Lykkelig" premiered Friday, and it features Sjo singing: "Wala nang bababa" and "Hanggang umaga na."

The gorgeous video, directed by Bjørnar Strømsholm, was shot in Sjo's house in Norway. Check it out below:

Speaking with Bandwagon, Millare shared that "Lykkelig" (which means "happy" in Norwegian) is about having fun with friends.

"I'm hoping that when people hear this song --wherever in the world they may be-- would make them call their friends to just have fun, after a long day’s work, on a weekend."

"Make the best of times together and stay in that space for a while," she said.

Millare posted the lyrics on Instagram.

This is her first collaboration with D'Sound, though she has performed with them in a concert early this month.

In videos she posted, Millare sang "Lykkelig," as well as the band's most familiar hit, "Tattooed On My Mind."
