“Cenușă” invites you to witness a phoenix-style comeback. Over a shimmering pop beat, Romanian singer Roxen faces an ex who blames her for everything, yet she refuses to wear the guilt. Instead, she turns the breakup into rocket fuel, vowing to “make fire from ash” and soar higher than before. The song pulses with self-belief, letting learners feel the spark of picking yourself up, dusting off, and shining brighter.
Roxen flips the idea of the end into a daring new beginning: nocturnal dreams guide her toward who she truly is, and every raindrop and cloud becomes tinder for her rebirth. By pushing away someone who tried to change her, she claims full authorship of her own story—and hopes the ex will miss her “until you can’t anymore.” “Cenușă” is a bold reminder that even when something burns down, the glowing embers can light the path forward.
