Anne Fleur’s typical description has been clear to young people for months, but may need some explanation to the older generation. According to the guys, Anne-Fleurs are girls who look like poop and act a bit like they’re Gooi. They are mainly recognizable by their style of clothing; Short skirts, a jacket tied at the shoulders, ankle boots and a big clip in their hair. Another characteristic of typical girls: They frequently use acronyms, like lawa for hiking and esma for espresso martini.

He hits

The text continues after the video.

Decker has been active on the video platform for a long time, inviting followers to submit a number of lyrics and then making a song with those lyrics.

Was she really going to release the song? She said earlier that Decker had doubted that for a long time Linda. She was afraid that people would not understand that the song’s lyrics were written with a big wink. “I was afraid people wouldn’t see the humor in it.” When more and more people ask where the song is, I decide to send it to a producer anyway. I thought: buoys, I’ll release them now. ”

And successfully. Ann Fleur leave Now in Spotify’s top 50 apps list and it’s impossible to imagine TikTok without it. Obviously we can expect more from Dekker, but those hoping for another hit will have to be disappointed. ,,Ann Fleur leave It’s fun, but in the end I want to be more serious. Anyway, I’m definitely not static and I also want to release more.”
