"Despre tine" (English: "About You") is the second single release from O-Zone's second album Number 1, and came back in their last album, DiscO-Zone. Following up their 2003 summer hit "Dragostea Din Tei", "Despre tine" proved to be a smaller hit than its predecessor, but a big enough one to make number one in several European countries.

Song information

The single was not released in the United Kingdom and did not benefit from large-scale promotion like "Dragostea Din Tei". "Despre tine" reached number four on the Eurochart Hot 100.[1] On DiscO-Zone, the track features a similar sound to O-Zone's previous hit, originally circulating on the Internet as an allegedly 'original version' of the "Dragostea din tei" song, due to the similar chorus. At the start of the predecessor's music video, the music playing before the band members get onto the airplane is "Despre tine [unu' in the mix]".
