The process
This song started from a conceptual idea that Marius Moga brought in. He already had the story in mind and imagined how it would sound behind the slogan “Daca dragoste nu e, nimic nu e,” which translates to “Where there’s no love, there’s nothing,” and was inspired by a piece written by Roxana Popescu in 1993.
The track tells the story of someone stuck in a relationship that has lost all warmth and intimacy. The partner is distant and barely present, coming home late while she’s left feeling like she belongs to no one. That sense of emptiness is at the core of the whole song.
Instead of breaking down, she hides the hurt behind a party lifestyle. She’s in the club, dancing, drinking, joking about breaking the bed, but all of it feels like a distraction from the void. The upbeat, playful vibe only makes the lyrics hit harder because you sense the sadness sitting just underneath.
It’s a song about masking heartbreak with noise and movement, about trying to fill the silence where love used to be.
The initial arrangement sounded much more serious, but just a few hours before the track was sent to mastering, Marius Moga had the great idea to change the instrumental to make it playful in contrast to the message of the song. Together with Alex Parker we reworked the hook so it would feel like a proper club track that still carries the heartbreak underneath.
With over 42 million plays I wonder who actually caught the message.
