The album is comprised of four soundtracks and it can be streamed on [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-booth-activation). The platform maintains its reputation of pushing out aggressive notifications and guilt-tripping its users into practice on the app. This holiday season, they are doing the same as they judge learners on how well or bad they are based on how regularly they partake in their lessons. In the music video, the standout song dubbed Bring My Parents Back, the little boy has his parents taken away by an owl after he failed to upkeep his language lessons.
