THE ROOP have already noticed with their previous hit âOn Fireâ how music and dance affects people. Music and dance liberates everyone. Thereâs not a single person who cannot dance. This is innate. Dance is like a tool which can also heal scars.
This 80s styles and movies âAlice in Wonderlandâ, âTwin Peaksâ inspired music video â directed by award-winning director Saulius Baradinskas.
THE ROOPâs leader Vaidotas says: âThe new song âDiscotequeâ talks about personal inner liberation. Rather often we say that we are free and that we live in a free world. But most of our restraints come from the inside. So, this song and movement aims liberate our minds, which contains too much self-criticism, fear of appearing different, reluctance to accept your body, even limiting your attractiveness.â
The main melody line is reminiscent of old folk songs (if sung in legato, however the band presents it in staccato), so âThe Roopâ brings folk music sound to the dancefloor.
âPart C or so-called bridge of the song is full of mouth sounds which carries us back in time thousands of years ago. Itâs a return to the very beginning of us, where we can start all over again,â says bandâs drummer Robertas.
The song is called âDiscotequeâ - without the letter âhâ, because itâs a different kind of discotheque.
âItâs not about showing yourself off. Itâs more about being with yourself and accepting yourself the way you are,â says bandâs guitarist Mantas.
The song comes together with an energetic dance which can allow you to escape and let loose. Some of the moves of the dance were taken from the childhood, some - inspired by legendary Lithuanian basketball player Arvydas Sabonis.
âDiscotequeâ participated in Eurovision Song Contest 2021.

DISCOTEQUE
Ok, I feel the rhythm.
Somethingâs going on here.
The music flows through my veins.
It's taking over me.
It's slowly kickinâ in.
My eyes are blinking
And I donât know what is happening.
I canât control it.
Donât wanna end it.
Thereâs no one here
And I donât care
I feel itâs safe to dance alone.
Let's discoteque right at my home.
It is ok to dance alone.
Dance alone, dance alone, dance alone, dance alone
I got the moves - it's gonna blow.
By dancing on my own
I'm healing wounded soul.
My body's shaking,
Heart is breaking, have to let it go.
I need to get up.
And put my hands up.
Thereâs no one here
And I donât care
I feel itâs safe to dance alone.
Let's discoteque right at my home.
It is ok to dance alone.
Dance alone, dance alone, dance alone, dance alone
I got the moves - it's gonna blow.
Let's discoteque right at my home.
It is ok to dance alone.
I got the moves - it's gonna blow.
It is ok to dance alone.
Chiki chika...
Let's discoteque right at my home.
It is ok to dance alone.
I got the moves - it's gonna blow.
It is ok to dance alone.
