Vol is MEROL’s cheeky ode to the irresistible pull of a first-class narcissist. The Dutch singer paints a vivid scene: someone struts in like a superstar, chin up, soaking up every spotlight while treating conversation as a one-way street. MEROL knows this charmer is “full of themselves,” and yet their magnetic confidence keeps her hooked. She admits she might be the tenth admirer that week, but still wonders if there’s “een plekje vrij” (a free spot) for her in their ego-packed world.
Beneath the playful synth-pop beat lies a tug-of-war between desire and self-preservation. MEROL’s inner voice warns her that chasing this person is a waste of time, but her heart can’t help aiming for their bull’s-eye. The repeated question “Zit je vol van jezelf?” flips between teasing and vulnerable, showing how easy it is to fall for someone who loves themselves a little too much. In the end, Vol is both a flirty dance-floor anthem and a witty reminder to keep some space in your life for people who’ll give back more than just half of what you offer.
