Sisters, Vasya & Nina Boykova, have released a Ukrainian language version of the 2020 Poland Junior Eurovision song, I’ll Be Standing, by Ala Tracz. It is a very different take on the song with this version being more like a ballad and quite laid back.

The Ukrainian words are by Ekaterina Boykova. The instrumental track is provided by Vlad Ulyanich and Piechstudio.

Vasya has previously recorded some unique covers and music videos of some Eurovision / Junior Eurovision songs and also Italian covers.

Check out Vasya & Nina singing the Ukrainian version of I’ll Be Standing below.
