This falls firmly in the category of songs you have heard, but you didn't know the title of.... or the artist.
Edward Maya is Romanian, and he enlisted Moldovan-Romanian artist Vika Jigulina to provide the vocals for what ended up being a slow burn of a worldwide hit. The song was a huge hit worldwide starting with its release in 2009, culminating with its peak on the US pop charts (#16) in 2011.... so yes, it was a three year build.
But there's more. It's 2025, and this song is STILL on the Moldovan and Polish pop charts - and has remained a huge Eastern European hit.
It is also the rare hit to include significant accordion.
Oh, you know they've performed this song live, and you know there was a signficant amount of accordion involved.
