What is "balans"

"Balans" (pronounced "balance") is a song recorded by Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan for her eponymous and second studio album, Alesta (2016). Released on 2 March 2016 through Global Records, the track features the vocal collaboration of Swedish- Congolese singer-songwriter Mohombi. "Balans" was produced by Play & Win members Sebastian Barac and Marcel Botezan, while the writing process was handled by the latter two in collaboration with Mohombi and Breyan Isaac.

A dance-pop song incorporating tropical music and latin music influences into its sound, the recording was compared by critics to the works of fellow Romanian female singer Inna. An official music video for "Balans" was shot by Anton San and was uploaded on 9 March 2016 onto YouTube in order to accompany the single's release. It portrays both Stan and Mohombi being present at a party held in a hall filled halfway by water. Following its release, the song received a mixed review by RnB Junkie; they commended the collaboration, but criticized its lack of innovation and formulaic production. Commercially, the song peaked in Japan and Russia.
