Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.
The featured article for Tuesday, 24 March 2026, is Despre tine.
"Despre tine" (Romanian: 'About You') is a song recorded by the Moldovan group O-Zone, released as a single by Media Services in Romania around December 2002. Written and produced by the band's founder Dan Balan, it was included on a reissue of their second studio album Number 1 (2002) and later on their third studio album DiscO-Zone (2003). Work on "Despre tine" spanned three weeks in September 2002, and its recording took place at the MOF Records studio with the assistance of Bogdan Popoiag. Following the international success of O-Zone's 2003 single "Dragostea din tei", "Despre tine" was re-released in select European markets in August 2004. Musically, it is a dance-pop track performed in Romanian.
At the MTV Romania Music Awards 2003, "Despre tine" won Best Song and Best Dance. It also received a nomination for Best Dance-Pop Song at the Radio România Actualități Awards the same year. Commercially, a music critic considered the track successful, though on a smaller scale than "Dragostea din tei". It topped the Romanian Top 100 in 2003 and reached number one in Norway in 2004, while also charting within the top 10 in Austria, Wallonia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The song was certified double gold in Romania and gold in France. A music video to promote "Despre tine" was released in 2004 and portrays O-Zone performing the track at a club among a dancing crowd. The group also performed the song live on television, including on Hit Machine in France and Top of the Pops in Germany.
