In 2019, Loredana collaborated a second time with her husband Mozzik on "Romeo & Juliet" peaking at number two in Germany.[9] The two follow-up singles "Labyrinth" and "Jetzt rufst du an", all entered the charts in Austria and Germany.[10][11] The same year, Loredana released her seventh single "Eiskalt" featuring Mozzik, which achieved to be certified gold in Germany and Austria.[12] The single marks the third time that both artists have collaborated musically on a recording.
