The Lithuanian music group "Lietuvaitės" is experiencing a significant upswing in their career, with the duo members noting a "three-year rule" similar to relationships, where they have chosen to move forward with full commitment. This summer, they've felt a strong public connection, with audiences greeting them warmly, applauding, and singing along to their songs.

It's similar to a relationship, the three-year rule applies – either you break up, or you move forward with full commitment. That's what happened with us and Sonata, we chose to move forward with full commitment.

"Now not only we sing, but our hearts sing too," shared Justina, reflecting the group's current success. "Lietuvaitės" are increasingly in demand for city and town festivals, as well as private events, which motivates them to continuously create and delight fans with new music.

Their latest release is the song "Man reikia meilės" (I Need Love), featuring lyrics by singer, journalist, and producer Rūta Lukoševičiūtė-Daudienė. "Upon hearing the song, I told our producer Karolis – this has to be a hit, and we hope our listeners will feel the same," said Sonata.

This summer we felt people's favor, people met us with smiles, loud applause, and knew our song lyrics by heart. Now not only we sing, but our hearts sing too.

— JustinaReflecting on the audience's positive reception.

Producer Karolis Šliažas decided to create a music video for the song, aiming for something authentic and relatable to both the artists and the audience. This led to the incorporation of the duo's known passion for gardening into the video's theme. "Both Justina and I are nature lovers. We walk barefoot on the dewy grass in the morning, call each other, and show each other our growing harvest when we turn on our cameras. I have raised garden beds, and Justina has built a greenhouse this year and hardly leaves it," Sonata joked.

Upon hearing the song, I told our producer Karolis – this has to be a hit, and we hope our listeners will feel the same.

— SonataExpressing confidence in their new song's potential.

The video was filmed at a special homestead in Svetlica, Suvalkija, known for hosting various artists. The location is owned by Gražina and Antanas Bučinskai, who welcome visitors warmly. Justina also has a personal connection to the area, as it is her mother's birthplace. The homestead's greenhouse, in particular, impressed the producer, perfectly matching his vision for the video. "Our producer Karolis is very creative – he saw potential in every small farm building. We chose props for the clip spontaneously, using what we found in the yard and greenhouse. Justina and I ate half of Gražina's tomatoes before the filming even started," giggled Sonata. The artists are delighted with the final result.
