Varde spoke about how the 'Aloha spirit' is all about letting someone in, seeing that it celebrates love and compassion. He spoke about how everyone in Hawaii is family (and even joked about Jason Mamoa being his uncle and The Rock being his father). When it came to his real family, he explained that they were plantation workers and hence, taking care of the land was like taking care of family. His song, '4 You' was about making people feel good and showcasing the Aloha spirit. 

Fans loved the song and the visuals that came with Varde's number. "Hawaii’s intentions is a very intelligent music project and it’s a great song! #AmericanSongContest" tweeted a fan. "Hawaii's song is like a lot of songs in Eurovision. A good pop song with folk elements. God I'd love to go there some day #AmericanSongContest" tweeted a fan. "Light and positive vibes from Hawaii, I just adore their staging #AmericanSongContest" added another. "The island visual was such a cool effect #AmericanSongContest" noted a fan. "Hawaii brought a whole-ass island on stage with him. Props. Literally! #AmericanSongContest" tweeted a fan.
