The song 'Labbet Labbet' emerged from a local sports club in Deir ez-Zor, known as Al-Fotuwa, originally celebrating the team's victory in the Syrian league. After its recording about a year before Syria's liberation, it transcended its sporting roots to become a national anthem of sorts during pivotal moments of celebrations for the liberation efforts. The song's notable rise to prominence can be attributed not only to its catchy tune but also to its relevance to the emotions of the people during the uprisings.

During the first anniversary celebrations of Syria's liberation, the song was ubiquitous, capturing the hearts and voices of many, as it played across various venues. Its impact was so profound that it reached the ears of Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara, who referenced it in an interview, interpreting this acknowledgment as a tribute to the Eastern region and its people. This elevation from a local sports anthem to a nationally recognized song speaks volumes about its role in the collective spirit of the times.

In an exclusive interview, the song's artist, Dham al-Moussa, reflected on its journey, from its inception to the widespread recognition it achieved. While not initially intended as a nationalistic composition, the reception and use of 'Labbet Labbet' in celebratory contexts have brought forth both applause and criticism. Dham al-Moussa discusses the song's success, its reception by political figures, and how it has shaped his connection with the Eastern regions of Syria, showcasing the powerful interplay between music, culture, and national identity.
