	In March of 2018, while digging through some of her old files to help remember the "troubled times," the song's composer, Lady Thurston, shared the audio recording of her son singing the song while accompanying himself on the piano. Grand Duke Travis found the song so inspirational that he immediately declared it Westarctica's new national anthem, replacing "[[God Save Westarctica]]," which had served as Westarctica's national anthem in the interim.

			==Analysis==
			The song is a 12-bar long melody in F-major in 4/4 time, following an A-B-A form with melodic range of an 11th. The song contains a "please stand" intro, an introduction that proclaims the song is about to start. It also has a strong opening interval, considered "bold" or "brave" in a musical sense. The repetition of the A section helps the tune become memorable. The song ends with a 5/1 resolution, making it quick and concise. The bridge, however, is similar to that of a modern pop song. A music analyst stated: "It does a lot in little time."
