Child applied for Hungarian citizenship, and he is now offically a Hungarian citizen. He also maintains good relations with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The production however, caught up in political wrangling. It is attacked by both the liberal media and some segment of the nationalist press claiming that the song was a recycled version of an earlier release. Child claims that the song was a work in progress and although an earlier version of it indeed has been released it wasn’t the final version.
