blasting urge
After her hits
Lekker Met De Meiden
and
Hou Je Bek En Bef Me,

now made a single as an ode to nightclubs.
"An ode to the clubs, to the nightlife, to the place where people can sometimes be themselves more than in everyday life," she writes on Instagram.
With the song she expresses missing out on the nightlife and everything that happens around it: from looking for an outfit to the fries on the corner afterwards.
"If it's all allowed again, shall we dance until the sun comes up?" She asks the listeners in the outro.
