Details: At the beginning of the video, Schwarzenegger (voice-over) addresses Ukrainians, saying, "Especially now, in these very difficult times. Everyone can have a dream and can make it come true".

At the end of the music video, he is standing together with the band members and pronounces the song title, Shchedryi Vechir, in Ukrainian.

Quote from Oleh Psiuk, frontman of Kalush Orchestra: "When we were in the USA on tour, we shot a music video for one of our songs. We were just having fun, and we could not even imagine it would turn out to be such a dope music video. Earlier, we were running down these streets virtually in GTA–San Andreas, and now we shot a music video for our interpretation of Carol of the Bells there and paid Arnold Schwarzenegger a visit."
