Since MIKOLAS’s record-breaking 2018 entry “Lie To Me”, which brought Czechia its best Eurovision result in Lisbon, MIKOLAS has not rested on his laurels and consistently pushed his artistic boundaries. “Hard To Be Humble” picks up where his recent successful singles ‘Ferrari’ and ‘Samba’ left off, but takes things to an entirely new level, both on the music and production side.
The track effortlessly blends high-energy anthemic pop with electronic and urban influences, perfectly matching his signature style and challenging it at the same time. The fact that within a seven-day window the music video scored a million views is a monumental feat, showcasing MIKOLAS’s fast-growing international fanbase. The stadium quality of the song and powerful, motivational sports video visuals perfectly add to the hard-hitting nature of “Hard To Be Humble”, making it an absolute internet sensation.
Fans looking to experience the new single live on stage, as well as recent hits from his sophomore album II, are in luck. MIKOLAS is officially set to headline a massive, highly anticipated concert at Prague’s iconic Forum Karlín on Friday, December 4, 2026.
