One of Nazia’s best performances in terms of the subtle disco tune, unforgettable lyrics and of course a mesmerizing video. The song came out in 1983 and was an instant hit with the masses. Her performance in the song and the video touches your soul with its uplifting music and a simple narrative.

Everyone knows this song and to this day, the song is part of almost every party playlist. Even Tomorrowland DJ FDVM couldn’t help but rock the crowd with his remix of the iconic song at the Solis Music Festival.
