#POWERINMYVEINS The official WKUWORLD Song "Power in my Veins" is out! Performed today live for the first time at the World Championships 2023 Opening Ceremonies by Lyra @_lyra_96, also known as Vivian Kroyer, produced by sønke.
"The inspiration for the song was the stars of WKU. I wanted to express the values and wanted to embody them musically to create more unity. I hope that my music will give strength and understanding to others. This song is meant to convey the essence of martial arts, the values behind it and the feeling behind it, and at the same time leave room for interpretation."
