The song was written by Daan Ligtvoet, Okke Punt and Lars Bos and produced by Donda Nisha. "Reünie" is an autobiographical song that features Snelle singing about the time he was bullied in high school due to his cleft lip and his dream to become a rapper. In the song, he proclaims how if it was not for the negative experience, he woulf not have become a singer.

Background

[edit]

"Reünie" was written by Daan Ligtvoet, Okke Punt and Lars Bos and produced by Donda Nisha and included on the album Vierentwintig (2019).

The song is autobiographical as it features Snelle singing about his youth, a time when he was bullied due to his cleft lip and the fact that he wanted to become a rapper. It also speaks about how he used the experience to advance with his music and is now the last one to laugh at a reunion with his bully.[1][2]

In February 2020, the song won the Zapp Award in the category for Favorite Track NL.[3] The same year in October, the song won a Buma NL Award.[4]

Commercial performance

[edit]

The song was very commercially successful. For the week of 3 August 2019, it debuted at number 23 on the Dutch Top 40 chart.[5] The following week, it moved to a position of number 8.[6] It reached the peak of the chart on 28 September 2019 and it spent a week there.[7] It also fared well on the Single Top 100, where it peaked at number one in its sixth week on the chart, on 31 August 2019. It spent a total of four weeks at the top.[8][9] Overall, it spent a total of 73 weeks charting.[10] It also peaked at number six on the Belgian Ultratop chart for the week of 2 November 2019, in its sixth week on the chart.[11][12] On 11 September 2019, Snelle received a Platinum certification for the song, which was handed over to him by Thomas Acda during the show Beau van Erven Dorens. During the show, he further revealed how the song was about the exclusion in school groups and backhanded gossip.[13]

"Reünie" appeared on the NPO Radio 2's Top 2000 list for six consecutive years, starting in 2019, with the highest position being 430 in 2020.[14]

[edit]

A music video for the song was released on 19 July 2019, directed by Dion Ghijsen and Ricardo Paterno.[15] It was partly filmed at the high school Hugo de Groot at Nachtegaalplein 53 in Charlois.[16] The video is in line with the song's lyrics against bullying.
