Stereo Love" is a song by Romanian musician Edward Maya featuring Moldovan-Romanian musician Vika Jigulina. It was released as their debut single on 23 February 2009 for radio airplay in Romania, and was later included on Maya's debut studio album, The Stereo Love Show (2014). It is a Eurodance, techno and trance song with lyrics about lovesickness, and also follows the Romanian popcorn music trend popular around the time of release. The song prominently features an accordion hook. Music critics gave generally positive reviews of the song upon its release, noting the universal appeal. At the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, the track was awarded "Top Dance Song". Commercially, "Stereo Love" peaked at number two on the Romanian Top 100 in August 2009 and became a worldwide sleeper hit over the next two years. The song was a number-one in Czech Republic, Finland, France, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden, and further peaked within the top five in several other countries including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It has peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100, standing as the best-performing Romanian song there. An accompanying music video was released on YouTube on 6 July 2009. Directed by Dragoș Buliga, it was shot in Mykonos, Greece, and sees Maya and Jigulina searching for each other through the streets of the island. For further promotion, the two performed the song at multiple events, including at Spanish award show Los Premios 40 Principales 2010, and on a tour visiting India and the Americas.

When you're gonna stop breaking my heart?
I don't wanna be another one
Paying for the things I never done
Don't let go, don't let go to my love

Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm losing control
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I see you, baby
I just don't want to let go

I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside

I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you

Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm losing control
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't want to let go

When you're gonna stop breaking my heart?
Don't let go, don't let go to my love

I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside

I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside

I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Oh baby, I'll try to make the things right
I need you more than air when I'm not with you
Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and I
