The series has been renewed for a sixth season, that premiered on 10 July 2023.[4]

Premise

Each stand-alone episode addresses family and youth issues in a familiar and optimistic tone and features a song that inspires the episode’s storyline. The storyline leads to reflection between parents and children and how to resolve them in everyday life. The song accompanies and supports that story. Most episodes feature a flash mob that highlights the featured song.

Production

Filming of the series began on 15 October 2018.[5][6] The series was originally scheduled to premiere on 12 November 2018, however it was delayed because of problems with the rights of some songs used in the episodes.[7][8]
