Song information

The song was heard for the first time on Orange FM 93.2 on 2 June 2008.[2] where Paparizou announced that it would be the second single from Vrisko To Logo Na Zo and officially aired on Sfera Radio 102.2 and on Cosmoradio 95.1 on 9 June 2008.[3][4]

The music is by Giorgos Sampanis and the lyrics were written by Giannis Doxas.

Paparizou said on Orange fm 93.2 that this song had a lot of fun. Sampanis and Doxas came home and Sampanis - who is a young and talented artist - told me: 'Lena, I have a new song, I want to show it to you in order to hear your opinion about it'. He showed it to me and I told him 'I am sorry but which do you think my opinion is? This is mine, thank you!' We went downstairs to the studio and we recorded it! This is the new single from my new album.

Music video

In the presentation of the album on Orange FM 93.2, Paparizou stated that the music video would be aired sometime between 7 and 12 June 2008.[2] On 11 June 2008, MAD TV announced the concept of the music video: Elena will appear in a photo of a man who shoots an empty landscape and her features around the face and the landscape will be full emotions in surreal way. Then there is another photo with an empty landscape, Elena appears again and in the last picture, Elena disappears while the man with the camera in his pocket leaves.[5] The music video officially premiered on 2 July on MAD TV, however, it was played at the presentation of the golden certification for the album at Egomio Atse on 25 June 2008.[6]

The video was directed by Alexandros Grammatopoulos.
