So it can also be part 2 is like the title already gives away a sequel to her earlier song That’s another way to do it, in which she sings about her relationship with Tony Junior and how much she likes it that their relationship seems to be going in a different way than she sees in her environment.
“I realized then, also by listening to friends, how nice my own relationship was. Tony just wanted to be with me and I wanted to be with him. I wanted to sing about that. And now it’s over, but we still have a loving relationship. I told someone that and said: ‘So it can be done’. And so part two was born. “
Maan: “You had a good time together and someone shaped you into who you are now. Then it would be a shame to throw that away? You can also just be friendly with each other and give each other the best. everyone like that to break up.
New phase in the relationship
The relationship between the DJ and the singer has entered a new phase and she wanted to make that clear not only in the lyrics, but also in the music. “That’s why there are some of the same elements, both lyrically and musically. You really have to see it as the next stage: recognizable, yet different.”
In the clip, Maan, Maan de Steenwinkel in full, shows another talent, where the audience through her participation in the television program Dance, Dance, Dance already got acquainted with it: she does a modern dance together with a group of professional dancers. “The director came up with that and I immediately thought it was such a cool way to tell the story.”
“Modern dance is very sensitive and subtle, while the beats in this song are a little harder. It complements each other so beautifully, you actually look at the story in two ways that make it whole together. And what I like more: my grandfather and grandmother were ballroom dancing champions and had their own dance school. The fact that their passion now flows in me and that I can carry it with me is really an extra layer. “
