The project featured well-known Polish artists, including Kasia Nosowska, Edyta Bartosiewicz, Kamil Bednarek, and Oskar Cyms.

This initiative not only seeks to uplift those affected by the floods but also to mobilize Poles to help those impacted by the disaster. The music video was first presented to viewers during the “19:30” news program on TVP1.

The clip was produced in the Agnieszka Osiecka Music Studio in Warsaw, with Armin Kurasz as the director and Jan Kidawa-Błoński as the editor. All participants in the project volunteered their time and worked pro bono.

Patrycja Markowska expressed her emotion and hope that the new version of the song would bring assistance to those in need. Kamil Bednarek shared his personal commitment to helping flood victims, mentioning his work on strengthening flood defenses.

The original version of “Moja i twoja nadzieja” (My Hope and Your Hope) dates back to 1993, while the subsequent version released in 1997 became an anthem for flood victims. In 1997, the song featured stars such as Edyta Bartosiewicz, Natalia Kukulska, and Cesław Niemen.
