Song Information
The single was not released in the United Kingdom and didn't benefit from large-scale promotion like "Dragostea din tei". It reached #4 in Euro Hot 100.
In the DiscO-Zone version, the track featured a similar sound to O-Zone's previous hit, originally circulating on the Internet as an allegedly 'original version' of the "Dragostea din tei" song, due to the very similar chorus. At the start of the predecessor's music video the music playing before the band members get on to the airplane is "Despre tine".
There have been several remixes of "Despre Tine", the most notorious is the Marvin and Prezioso Radio edit, which has the same vocal structure but a completely different tune.
"Despre tine" has proved to be a large hit in Portugal. In 2005, the band NexUS created an English version, called "About You...".
Sour Base also has covered "Despre Tine." The CD it was featured on ("Illicit Beats"), however, did not achieve good reviews on iTunes.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summon’d am to a tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world’s end:
Methinks it is no journey.”
—Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 57–60)
“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
