In fact, they want fans to hit the "LIKE" button all day and night.

A smooth song with lyrics attached for the fan sing along and it is set in the Facebook iconic blue background.

They gave Facebook users something to listen to during the down time. Teens cried, office workers were forced to go back to their "regular work," commuters freaked out on their mobile phones then all the music lovers tuned in to hear Ruby & Chikaadee's FACEBOOK ANTHEM on youtube.

Kisho Kumar (Chikaadee) and Ruby Ramkaran (Ruby Queen) were united by a common passion: Music. When they finally decided to meet in person and collaborate after meeting on FACEBOOK, it was love at first sight. Chikaadee, who had been writing music since he was 16, conceived the dream of The Nation and World Wide Hustlers at an early stage in his career. When he met Ruby in April of 2008 and discovered her as a talent, he dubbed her The Nation’s Queen and they have been partners ever since. In Chikaadee’s own words “We complement each other so well, it’s a match made in heaven. It was just meant to be.”
