It is based on a song written in 1956 by Jümeken Näjımedenov, because he wanted to discourage what Nikita Khrushchev was doing to Kazakhstan three years prior. The first president of Kazakhstan, Nūrsūltan Nazarbaev, changed the original words of that song, then he turned it into the national anthem of Kazakhstan.[1][2]
It replaced the previous anthem, which was used upon independence from the former Soviet Union.
