"Ya Maiu Zhyty" ("I Have to Live"): Usyk, Sumska, Kozlovskyi and Their Children Star in ANNA MARIA's New Music Video — the Clip That's Moved the Internet

Ukrainian sister duo ANNA MARIA has released a new song and music video, "Ya Maiu Zhyty" ("I Have to Live"), which has already stirred a wave of emotion online. Dozens of well-known Ukrainians gathered for the video together with their children, to portray the strongest feeling capable of uniting everyone: a parent's love for their child. What sets the ANNA MARIA video apart is the record number of famous Ukrainian parents who appear in it alongside their own children. Among those featured are world boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk, actress Olha Sumska, singer Vitaliy Kozlovskyi, artist Dmytro Koliadenko, the married couple Tonia Matviyenko and Arsen Mirzoyan, People's Artist Pavlo Zibrov, actor Oleksandr Pecherytsia, showman "Uncle Zhora," artist DIBROVA, singer Oleksandr Kvarta, TV host Andriy Osadchuk, actress Anna Salivanchuk, as well as athletes and today's true protagonists — Ukrainian soldiers. A special place in the video belongs to the soldiers themselves: they appear on screen together with their children, a detail that turns the clip into far more than a musical premiere — it becomes a heartfelt reminder of exactly who Ukrainians are fighting, and living, for today. The video also features the children of one of the duo's own members: Maria's son and daughter, adding an even deeper personal warmth to the piece. According to the artists, their goal was to create a story as honest and soulful as possible — one that would resonate with everyone. "This song is about what love is capable of. It's about the bond between generations and the strongest feelings we all know. We want to dedicate it to everyone who has children. When we look into our children's eyes, we feel we can move mountains," say sisters Anna and Maria. "Ya Maiu Zhyty" has become one of the duo's most emotional works in recent memory. Viewers on social media are already writing that the video brings them to tears while also filling them with hope — its central message is simple: love for one's children gives us the strength to keep living, even in the hardest of times.
