Expressing the motivation behind the song, Lindemann shared in a press release, "This song was composed to pay tribute to two of my friends who died last year during the Russian-Ukraine war and to my uncle, who died in illness." He further reflected on the positive demeanor of his friends in their final moments, emphasizing the song's intent to convey hope for an end to the war and the prevention of further casualties.
"They Smiled" follows Lindemann's previous single, "Painting with Flowers," released eight months ago. Lindemann has been active in his jazz pianist career since the debut album "Esperance" in 2017, featuring tracks like "Serenade" (2019), "Story" (2020), "Keys to Summer" (2020), and "And She Said Excuse Me" (2022).
A concert titled "Midday Concert III - Daniel Lindemann Quartet Concert" is scheduled at Daegu Eoul Arts Center on Wednesday, showcasing Lindemann's continued contributions to the jazz scene.
Lindemann gained recognition as the German representative on "Non Summit" from 2014 to 2016, a JTBC talk show exploring diverse topics through the perspectives of non-Korean men.
