“‘Wide Awake’ is about sadness, disappointment, and when you’re kind of in this bad state of mind. You feel like you’re going to be in pain forever until something or someone comes into your life and helps you through it, and inspires you to keep going and recover from any challenges you may be facing. Kind of like a ray of sunshine in the abyss.” – Laura Bretan explained

In 2016, Laura Bretan became a finalist of the famous contest, “America’s Got Talent,” and won “Romania’s Got Talent.” Since then, she has become a media sensation in the United States.
