On March 21, which is recognized as World Down Syndrome Day, the a cappella group 'Latvian Voices' launched a new song entitled 'Today Belongs to Us'. This initiative was prompted by the association 'Down Syndrome Latvia', which aimed to spread awareness and positivity surrounding Down syndrome. The song encourages listeners to pause, enjoy the moment, and share smiles with strangers, thereby fostering joy in everyday interactions.

The song's music was composed by Laura Jēkabsone, who also co-authored the lyrics. She expressed that the creative process behind the song was both educational and inspiring, as she received various facts about Down syndrome over the course of a month. These insights sparked numerous ideas for the a cappella piece, with the understanding that people with Down syndrome often enjoy hugging providing a significant and uplifting direction for the music.

The creators of the song conveyed that individuals with Down syndrome exemplify the ability to find joy in life and appreciate the moment – qualities many in society might take for granted. Their message highlights an opportunity for everyone to learn from these individuals about living joyfully and embracing the present, making it a meaningful contribution to the celebration of World Down Syndrome Day.
