Background and release

[edit]

O-Zone is a Moldovan Eurodance group established in 1999. In 2002, the band, which consisted of founder Dan Balan, Radu Sîrbu and Arsenie Todiraș, moved to Romania where they found success with their single "Numai tu".[1][2][3]

The follow-up, "Despre tine",[1] was written, composed and produced by Balan. It was recorded at MOF Records studio with the assistance of Bogdan Popoiag, who also mixed and mastered the track.[4] "Despre tine" was first included on a 2002 reissue of their second studio album Number 1,[4] which had been released earlier that year.[5] The Unu' in the Mix version of the song was included on the Romanian release of their third studio album DiscO-Zone (2003),[6] while the original version was included on 2004 and 2005 international releases of the album.[7][8] "Despre tine" was re-released in 2004 in multiple territories as a follow-up to their international hit "Dragostea din tei" (2003).[9] The cover used on most of the releases was created by French illustrator Gil Formosa.[10]
