Irina Rimes, the soulful voice from Moldova, turns a simple heartbeat into a love anthem in “Ba Ba Ba (Inima Mea Bate)”. The title itself means “My Heart Beats,” and that rhythmic ba ba ba echoes the pulse of someone completely enchanted. Throughout the song, Irina celebrates a love that makes her feel limitless: with her partner she is brave enough to “fly,” she finds a shared home in their embrace, and everyday worries melt away the moment they are together.
Yet this is not a blindly idealized romance. Irina admits the future is uncertain—“maybe you are not the one”—but she still chooses to dive in, eyes closed, because love is worth the risk. The message is clear: when your heart beats this loudly, live the moment to the fullest and never regret the feelings that make you truly alive.
