This song is the culmination of a decade's worth of development in the world of trance. It represents everything awful that the genre has ever produced.
Hands-in-the-air breakdown...Check.
Heart-tugging, poorly sung vocals...Check.
Cheesy, simplistic, saccharine melody...Check.
Weak, generic percussion and bassline...Check.
Market oversaturation...Check.
The time has passed, but the year this was released, I had to deal with hearing it 3-4 times at every single event. This song is without doubt the worst trance song ever produced. Worse than "Children", worse than "Better Off Alone", and far worse than anything ever produced by Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo or Basshunter; at least they don't take themselves seriously.
If anything else doesn't tip you off, the name should. "Anthem". Could Filo & Peri be any more desperate for commercial success?
