"With all the news circulating around our anthem, we just thought it made sense to share our version of it," Lopa said.
And the key to a good national anthem?
They say, simply, "singing it with pride".
The girls' rendition of the national anthem has since had over 564,000 views and been shared over 9,900 times!
