The title track called "ZNO" is performed by the band "Вагоновожатые". The author of the words, the frontman of the band, Anton Slepakov, speaks in recitative against the background of a fiery breakbeat about all the difficulties of teenage life, which his characters face according to the plot of the series.

"It's quite funny and pointless to pretend to be such an "eternal teenager" and "your boyfriend", to pretend that you are with the youth on "you". At the same time, in their eyes, to look like an old man. It is better to tell a story and share a vision from your side and your age. And if you are not very well versed in some issues (such as external examinations, we have everything more or less clear with sex and Instagram), then it is better to ask and consult with our children. At least that's how I always do it," says Anton Slepakov .

The creators of the series, together with the music producer and supervisor, formed not just a separate sound, but the musical history of each of the heroes of the 12-episode teen-dramedy.

"I really wanted the music in the scenes to be equivalent to the lines of the characters, so that the music became another hero of the series. This thought arose at the first stages of creating the story, and later focus groups only confirmed the correctness of its direction: music is extremely important for teenagers, because it allows them to express themselves.

And that's why for the project I was looking for a very long time, who exactly could become the music supervisor of the series, because there were no such specialists in our market yet. Now, my team and I are proud of the fact that we managed to attract the first music supervisor in Ukraine to the project: Serhiy Vovk, co-founder of the Thousand Kisses Place label, became him. Well, actually, another profession has appeared in Ukrainian cinema (smiles). I'm glad that after the filming of "Sex, Insta and ZNO", other producers are actively inviting Serhiy to this position in movies and TV series," says the author of the idea and showrunner of the project, Iryna Nikonchuk.

Ihor Kyrylenko (part of the electronic duet Hidden Element) became the main music producer and composer of "Sex, Insta and ZNO" , creating about thirty tracks for various scenes of the series.

For the key scenes of the series, the music of many producers and performers - favorites of today's youth - was used: Hidden Element, Monsto, Polje, Vroda, Bejenec, SI Process (solo project of Stas Ivashchenko, "Вагоновожатые"). The soundtrack of the series, in addition to the title track, included hits by Ukrainian artists — Maks Barskyi, ONUKA, Ivan Dorn and U_C. As well as international producers and performers — Mujuice and Kedr Livanskiy.

" From the very beginning, I approached the selection of music for the series like DJing - I simply caught the mood or, on the contrary, created it in the scene of a certain series, as if it were people on the dance floor. And as I was at all stages of the creation of the series — from reading the script to shooting and final editing — I was able to get more familiar with the material and the task that the showrunner set for me. And everything turned out to be, on the one hand, more difficult than I expected, and on the other hand, much more interesting: with our main music producer, we began to write musical scores that will be played throughout the series, according to the character of the characters, when they appear in the scenes. And in general, converted various music composing to the level and in the spirit of Hollywood. As a result of the project, I am also very happy that many interesting Ukrainian musicians, whose music we used in the series, will now become more popular - you will see, hear and understand why, " says Serhiy Vovk , musical supervisor of the series.

Despite the musical diversity of the series, the audience will be in for another surprise, from the actor Andrii Maksimov, who not only played one of the main roles, but also created a song dedicated to the main character - Sasha Motsak. The track "SASHA" was included in the "Sex, Insta and ZNO" soundtrack and will be performed by Andrii himself.

We remind you that the premiere of the series will take place on the 1+1 video platform on November 25. The cost of watching all 12 episodes of "Sex, Insta and ZNO" will be UAH 79. Until November 24 inclusive, access to the series can be purchased at the early bird price: UAH 59.
