"Despre tine" (Romanian for 'About You') is a dance-pop song by the Moldovan band O-Zone, released as a single by Media Services in Romania around December 2002. Written and produced by the band's founder Dan Balan (pictured), it was included on a reissue of their second studio album Number 1 (2002) and later on their third studio album DiscO-Zone (2003). "Despre tine" was recorded in September 2002 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. 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.

This is a painful bit of truth: Fascism, in the form of irresponsibility, is present in the masses of all countries, nations and races. Fascism is the result of thousands of years of warping of the human structure. It could have developed in any nation. It is not a specific German or Italian character trait.   --Wilhelm Reich https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Reich
