The song is based on the idea that happiness will surely come after working hard.

The song has often been included in performances of art troupes like the State Merited Chorus, the Mansudae Art Troupe and the Phibada Opera Troupe, enjoying popularity among the Korean people.

Reflected in the song is the Korean people's belief that they will emerge victorious under the leadership of Kim Jong Il. The song also represents their strong will to continue going along the road of revolution, pioneered by President Kim Il Sung, under Kim Jong Il's leadership.

The song encourages the Korean people to turn out in the effort for fulfilling the tasks set forth in the joint New Year editorial issued by major newspapers of the country.
