"Rampampam" on YouTube

"Rampampam" is a song by Romanian singer Minelli, released for digital download and streaming by Global Records on 18 March 2021 as a single. A house track, it was written by Minelli and produced by Viky Red. Lyrically, it discusses a toxic relationship and the other partner's eventual revengeful feelings. Manuel Probst, writing for the German website Dance Charts, gave "Rampampam" a positive review, praising the song's catchiness and Minelli's vocal delivery.[1]

To promote "Rampampam", an accompanying music video was uploaded to the singer's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's digital release. Directed by Kibzzon, it portrays Minelli and two other women pouring gasoline on a car which features a man trapped inside. The singer further performed the track on Romanian and Bulgarian radio stations throughout May and June 2021. Upon trending on several Shazam and Spotify charts worldwide,[2][3] "Rampampam" topped the official rankings in Belarus, Bulgaria, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Lithuania and Russia, and peaked at number two in native Romania and in Ukraine.

Background and composition[]

Minelli, born Luisa Luca, is a Romanian singer, composer and songwriter signed to Global Records.[4][5] In 2006, at the age of 16, she was part of the native girl band Wassabi formed by Marius Moga.[6][2][7] Upon their disbandment, Minelli pursued a solo career, prominently being featured on LoL Deejays and Follow Your Instinct's "Portillia de bobo" (2013) and on Dave Ramone's "Love On Repeat" (2016), which reached modest chart peaks in France and Germany, respectively.[8][9] "Empty Spaces" (2017) eventually secured her a record deal with Ultra Records,[6] and "Addicted" (2019) with Sickotoy and "Mariola" (2020) climed to numbers two and one on the Romanian Airplay 100 ranking.[10][11] As a songwriter, Minelli's portfolio includes songs such as Inna's "Flashbacks" (2021), which achieved success in Eastern Europe, among other territories.[12][13][14]

"Rampampam", a house track with slap house-inspired basslines,[1] was composed by its songwriter Minelli and producer Viky Red.[6] Minelli came up with its hook in around five minutes after Viky Red had presented her an instrumental. She went on to utilize the term "rampampam" in the lyrics, which is used to compare being hurt by a lover to a shooting a gun.[15][7] Overall, the track discusses a toxic relationship that ends in revenge.[6] "Rampampam" was first released as a single in Romania and Russia on 18 March 2021 for digital download and streaming by Global Records.[16][17] The song was then issued in various other territories on 18 June 2021 by Warner Music Poland,[18] with alternative versions having also been made available, including a partly French language one. Seven of the several remixes created for "Rampampam" are featured on a remix EP distributed by Spinnin' Records.[19]

Music video and promotion[]

An accompanying music video for "Rampampam" was uploaded to Minelli's YouTube channel on 18 March 2021.[20] It was directed by Kobzzon, while Paul Tatcu was hired as the director of photography.[6][21] The clip is centered around the revengeful lyrical content of the song,[6] portraying Minelli and two other women in a dark room, pouring gasoline over a car which features a man locked inside. Interspersed scenes feature the singer surrounded by black baloons and sitting on a red chair watching footage of the aforementioned man on an oversized display. The music video ends with Minelli holding a lighter in front of the car, suggesting her desire of setting it on fire.[20] For fruther promotion of "Rampampam", the #DoTheRampampam challenge was introduced on TikTok in June 2021, and yielded in more than 2,000 videos being created.[22] Minelli performed the song live on several occasions, beginning with the Romanian radio stations Kiss FM and Pro FM on 9 and 24 May 2021, respectively.[23][24] On 9 June 2021, the singer also made appearances to sing the track for the Bulgarian radios The Voice and NRJ.[25][26]
