Alan Walker who also produced the single offers:

”’Fake A Smile’ is a song that I’ve been working on for a while. I really like the meaning behind it, and Salem Ilese did an amazing job of performing the vocals. She’s an exciting artist that I think people should definitely pay attention to in the time to come. Alongside the single, I’m also releasing my new music video which we shot more than 6 months ago. The video further tells the story of the Walkers and the challenges they had to face, and I hope people like this new chapter in the story. I’m really happy with the result and proud of the work done by the entire video team and Kristian Berg, the director who I’ve worked closely with for a majority of my past videos.”

Salem Ilese jumped on the track after connecting with Walker through mutual friends adds:
