“I had ‘En milloinkaan’ as a rough draft on my computer since late summer 2025, and the song took its final form quite quickly at the end of November,” says guitarist Teemu Kuosmanen, who wrote the song. “The recording, mixing, and mastering also went very quickly.”
”The song is about how, even though life doesn’t always go the way you want it to and even though there are all kinds of naysayers and pessimists around you, you can still get through anything if you want to and believe in yourself,” says Kuosmanen. “When I sing it, I feel like I won’t give up and no one can bring me to my knees,” says singer Jori Kärki.
The song is a fast-paced, synth-driven, melodic rock song. The guitar also plays a role, and the chorus is quite big and catchy, in typical Ikirouta style.
Ikirouta is a Finnish melodic metal band from Kajaani, formed in the winter of 2020.
