Nota De Plata (“The Check”) turns a messy breakup into an itemized restaurant bill. Over a haze of all-night texts, too much wine and stubborn insomnia, The Motans brands himself Omul Greșeală (“Mistake Man”), blaming his Leo sign while promising to cover the cost of every undone smile, every forgotten plan and every tear that ruined her makeup. Regret is calculated like a receipt: line after line of emotional debt that begs to be paid.
When INNA steps in, the tables flip. Tired of “unlimited trust,” she demands the bill too, making it clear both partners owe something. Between playful sarcasm, astrological excuses and bittersweet confessions, the song shows how love can feel like splitting a check no one can truly afford. In the end, closure comes only when each lover accepts their share and finally settles the emotional balance.
