Nona wrote the song "I'll be Begging You" about 15 years ago. Its tune is one of those things that come to you from somewhere as people say. When Nona performs this song for the first time a cappella at a rock concert, the statement of one journalist is published in the newspapers on the next day, saying that this song should fly into space. In Nona's previous albums this song is in an a cappella variant with three vocal parts, laid into it, all three performed by Nona. Most people think this is a folk song. The text of the song is a folk text, revised by the Bulgarian poet - symbolist Kiril Hristov some time by 1898. The tune is created by Nona. Maybe when a tune is accepted as folklore, this is the greatest proof of its immortality. When they decided from the Bulgarian National Television in 2004 that Bulgaria should after all also participate in the songs competition Eurovision, Nona decided to take part in it with the song "I'll be Begging You". A new arrangement and new sounding were needed for the purpose. And since this is an international forum, Nona invites as a guest musician one of the best known musicians in Bulgaria and abroad, Teodosii Spasov. This is not the place to comment on the backstage speculations and intrigues, connected with this competition, but the opinion of many Bulgarians is that it is exactly this song that should have gone to Eurovision. Besides, the participation of a world known musician like Teodosii Spasov would have given an additional chance to our country. After the outright failure of "Kaffe" band at Eurovision, producer Joker Media, one of the members of the so called "commission", which determined who was to participate in the competition and which decided that "I'll be Begging You" will not participate, Ivailo Kitsov, wrote in "Standard" newspaper that this song should have gone to Eurovision.

Nona includes the song "I'll be Begging You" as the first song in her new album, not accidentally named "Revival", and very soon the guardian of Bulgarian culture, the mayor of Kavarna Tsonko Tsonev offers to finance a video for this song. Nona entrusts again the producer Vasil Stefanov with the realization of this video. Shooting itself passes in a mysterious way, typical for Nona. It turns out that the only day, when Nona and Teodosii can work together, is 21 September 2005. The shooting team has already gone to Kavarna and the producer says that there is a real flood there and this is exactly the period of the big floods. In spite of this Nona and Teodosii start to Kavarna. Bogomil Bonev, who is still Nona's boyfriend, is the "driver" of the "actors". All the time the rain falls in torrents. The two men start saying that there is hardly any sense to travel but Nona tells them to stay calm because the weather will be such as she "figures" it to herself, i.e. a dramatic sky with overhanging clouds and it will not rain. They continue traveling, night is already falling, the producer has been phoning them several times, begging Nona to do "something" for the weather, because according to his words the situation is "Steven King" there and already there isn't electricity as well. They arrive amidst horrible thunders and literally rivers running along the streets of Kavarna. They find the actor Hristo Garbov and his wife, the producer Iglika Trifonova in the hotel. They sit down to have dinner and sing and drink wine almost till dawn. It does not stop raining. In the morning the team makes its way to the shooting location. The "actors" go to have their faces made up. Made up like fairy-tale characters, they start to the shooting location, which is almost inaccessible because of the flood. It stops raining, the sky is exactly such as Nona has figured it to herself and after that, during the montage the producer says that there is a peculiar yellow light, like as if artificially created. The shooting of the video ends by 5 o'clock p.m. They get in the car and start to Sofia. In this moment the flood is back and on the next day the mayor Tsonko Tsonev phones Nona and tells her that the Bolata neighborhood, where the shooting took place, is gone. It is under water.
The other part of the shooting of the video is realized in a fairy-tale place in a magic forest - a favorite place of Nona and Bogomil, where on 1 July 2006, together with the mayor of Ihtiman Margarita Petkova and the witnesses to their marriage, the Gergovi family, they both say "Yes" to each other in open air in this exceptionally important place for them.
