In one of the recordings shared by Martin, Bocelli is seen standing in front of the Resolute Desk, dressed in a black suit, tie and dark glasses, while an instrumental track begins to play. Trump, positioned behind the presidential desk, introduces the moment by saying, "Listen to this," before Bocelli begins singing to the rhythm of "Time to Say Goodbye." The tenor performs part of the piece and smiles briefly before continuing to the end of the video.

Another clip shows Trump and Bocelli conversing in front of the desk, listening together to a recording of a work by the Italian artist, in an informal setting inside the Oval Office.
