The song was written long before the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine.

As the leader and soloist of the band, Oleg Psyuk, wrote on his Instagram: "Stefania is my mother's name.

I dedicated this song to her and we will present this song at Eurovision. It is a sincere and soulful track, which has a Ukrainian ethnocode.

Europe is very excited about it style".After February 24, 2022, for many Ukrainians, the Kalush Orchestra song Stefania acquired a new meaning.

For example, it contains the line "I will always come to you on broken roads", which seems to tell us that despite the destruction in cities and villages, people rush to their parents' home, to their Motherland.

Mother Stefania can also be called a prototype of all Ukrainian women who, in the conditions of war, remain strong and indomitable, protecting their native country, its children and the future.
