Karina features on the track, adding a fresh layer of emotional depth and further elevating the song’s quality. Despite their very different musical worlds, the two artists blend seamlessly under the shared theme of "love," promising a synergy beyond expectations.

An emotional and beautifully shot music video will also be released alongside the song.

According to JANNABI’s team (via News1), "'May the TENDERNESS be with you!' blends JANNABI’s signature emotional sound with Karina’s clear yet strong vocals, creating a mystical and heartwarming atmosphere."
