"Flashbacks" is a song recorded by Romanian singer Inna, released as a promotional single from her seventh studio album, Heartbreaker (2020), on 4 December 2020 by Global Records. It was written by Inna and Luisa Luca alongside its producers Sebastian Barac, Marcel Botezan and David Ciente. Musically, the composition of "Flashbacks" consists of a piano loop and slap bass. Upon entering the Shazam chart in Russia,[1] the song experienced moderate success on the radio ranking in the region, as well as in those of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Ukraine and Romania.

Background and composition

"Flashbacks" was written by Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu (Inna) and Luisa Luca (Minelli) alongside its producers Sebastian Barac, Marcel Botezan and David Ciente.[2] It is part of Inna's seventh studio album, Heartbreaker, which was recorded during a three-week period in November 2020 at a rented Bucharest mansion with two recording studios in which Inna resided with the songwriters and producers mentioned.[3][4]

"Flashbacks" was released along the album for streaming to YouTube and SoundCloud by Global Records on 27 November 2020, and was issued to fellow platforms and released for digital download a week later under the same label.[5][6][7] On the later occasion, Global Records also released all of the album's songs—including "Flashbacks"—as promotional singles.[8] Dance-Charts' Manuel Probst singled the track out as his favorite song on Heartbreaker and noticed "atmospheric" sounds, a piano loop and slap bass in its composition.[9]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Flashbacks" was uploaded to Inna's YouTube channel on 26 February 2021.[10] It was directed by Bogdan Păun in early 2021 and filmed at the Palazzo Versace Dubai and at Domeniul Manasia in Romania. The production was handled by Loops Production, while Alexandru Mureșan acted as the director of photography.[11]
