Background

The opening lyric of the song, "Zing je nog steeds mee met liedjes van Marco?" (English: Do you still sing along to Marco's songs?) refers to the popular Dutch singer Marco Borsato. Borsato was accused of, and eventually charged with, child sexual abuse beginning in 2021. In 2024, videos went viral on social media of Thijs' concerts, where she holds the microphone to the audience immediately after singing the line and the crowd loudly screams "No!" in response. This occurred regularly at Thijs' shows, including in Utrecht and Weert. [4]
