The ensemble “Ursa” is waiting for its numerous listeners on May 10 at the Tbilisi Grand Concert Hall. It can be said that “Ursa” is currently experiencing a stellar period, as their songs are becoming more and more popular. Recently, another hit “I Fell in Love with a Girl” appeared in the ensemble’s repertoire, which was immediately embraced by listeners after its premiere on “Imedi” and has already accumulated more than 300,000 views in ten days.

fortuna.ge has found out some interesting news about the song. As we learned, the author of the composition is the famous Georgian composer Rusa Morchiladze. Giorgi exclusively tells fortuna.ge how the song was created.

“For a long time I wanted Rusa Morchiladze to write a song for us, but in the summer, I was vacationing somewhere and suddenly it hit me in the head and I had a real ambition to do it (smiles). I took the number of my cousin, Rezi, who had called Rusa before and told her that I was going to contact her. I called Rusa, we exchanged love and respect. Of course, we praised each other. Rusa Morchiladze is truly a legend. I have no words to spare, especially for her. In fact, I have great respect and love… She herself told me that she was very happy that we have so many good songs. I expressed the opinion that it would be good for us to sing her song in the future. I didn’t even dare to tell her to write a song for us. A month and a half passes… It’s night, three o’clock and I get a call, it says Rusa Morchiladze on the phone (laughs). I thought, what should I do… I answered right away. Giorgi, hello, I’m Rusa… that’s how she greeted me. Suddenly she says, “Crazy!” I wrote it for you – he said it in such a voice that I realized that he had finished writing this song at that moment. I knew for sure that he would tell me something so cool, because he would not have called me so late for any other reason. Come tomorrow morning. When I called him the next day, of course, he was asleep… (laughs). He called me at three… I didn’t know that muses flowed like that… (smiles). There is footage of how I first went to rehearsal with Rusa…

Footage of the first rehearsal of the song.

When I arrived, he had a broken leg, his leg was in a cast. He slowly walked to the piano. When he sat down and played it… it was amazing…

The song became a hit as soon as it was released…

In three days it gained great popularity. It was in first place among trending videos, but not only among music videos, but in general, among those that are watched in our region… This means a very big success on a specific platform, “YouTube” I mean.

Giorgi, how do you maintain such popularity?

It’s related to a very long time – we have become popular at least 4 times in 15 years and then became unknown again…

Our work is accompanied by popularity in case of success. The most important formula for success is tireless, continuous, dedicated work. The more successful you become, the more you have to work, because the audience expects more from you… You have to be as ready as possible to meet every chance that life sends you. And this readiness comes precisely through work…
