How the song came to life
Ladislav Medvec has been collaborating for many years with songwriter Štefan Svetský and producer Pavol Kusí as part of the international songwriting collective S4S Music Platform. Their work brings together artists from different countries, languages, and musical backgrounds.
Following the release of the Slovak song Láska nie je hriech with singer WEWE HAJD, the idea emerged to explore an English-language direction. Štefan Svetský suggested working with British singer Franziska Schott, who had already collaborated with him on several projects.
When Ladislav first heard Franziska’s vocals, he was immediately drawn to the colour and emotional depth of her voice. After connecting with her directly, the collaboration naturally developed into a completely new song – You Feel Like Home.

A collaboration without borders
Although Ladislav and Franziska have never met in person, the creative process flowed naturally. Ladislav composed the music and piano foundation, while Franziska wrote the English lyrics and recorded the vocals, giving the song its distinctive atmosphere.
The final version of the song was mixed and mastered by Pavol Kusí at Esprit Studio Košice, with additional instruments, including guitars, added to subtly expand the sound while keeping its intimate character.
