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.
