Hey ABJEEZ fans…Your girls have a new jam for you: Farfar (Swedish: your grandfather).

Sisters, Melody and Safoura’s latest song, Farfar is a lounegy-type beat sung in Swedish.

It’s a sweet addition to any music library, and the lyrics are relatable too.

Check out some verses in English:

Don’t ask why, that’s just the way it is
