About Stereo

"Stereo Love" is a 2009 song recorded by Romanian musician Edward Maya with Moldavan-Romanian musician Vika Jigulina, released as their debut single in late 2009 from Maya's album, The Stereo Love Show. The refrain is from "Bayatılar", composed by Azerbaijani musician Eldar Mansurov. It became a worldwide hit in nightclubs and rose to the top of Brazilian, French, Dutch, Turkish, Finnish, UK, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss (Romandie) and Irish charts as well as going platinum in Germany, America, and Canada. The song and the music video were both included on the compilation NRJ Music Awards 2010. The music video was filmed in Greece, as Edward Maya stated in an interview that Greece "was a place that I fell in love with". In 2011, the song was awarded as top dance song at the Billboard Music Awards.

Stereo 
We hear both sides 
We sympathize 
We live our lives in stereo 
The left and the right 
The dark and the light 
We wrestle with the balance 
We change our tone 
We leave our phone 
And tape record our absence 
In lovin' memory 

Stereo 
We're livin' it in stereo 
We fix it so our love is high fidelity 
Mix it so we never lose the melody 
We try to equalize our lives in stereo 

So on we go 
From side to side 
As we divide 
A single life in stereo 
The far and the wide 
We override 
The feedback from the others 
The unkind phrase 
We lock in phase 
We're only really listening to the stereo 

Stereo 
We're livin' it in stereo 
We tune it till we have a perfect parody 
Commune with such a fine-cut, crystal clarity 
It seems to symbolize 
Our lives in stereo 

Oo (la, la, la, la, la, la), yeah, yeah, yeah 
Oo (la, la, la, la, la, la), yeah, yeah, yeah 
Oo (la, la, la, la-a) 

Stereo 
Stereo 
We fix it so our love is high fidelity 
Mix it so we never lose the melody 
We try to equalize our lives in stereo 

Stereo 
Stereo 
We fix it so our love is high fidelity 
Mix it so we never lose the melody 
We try to equalize our lives in stereo
