This paper explores the 2022 single "Gagicar că așa vreau eu" as a case study in the evolution of the "trap-manele" genre. By examining the collaboration between established urban artist and traditional-leaning vocalists Ionuț Eduardo and Noris , the study highlights the commercial and cultural viability of hybrid musical forms in the digital age. 1. Production and Authorship

The song , a collaboration between Gheboasă , Ionuț Eduardo , and Noris , was officially released on October 11, 2022 , under the Big UP Music label. The "STELLIAN XTD EDIT" likely refers to an extended or club-oriented remix typical of the Romanian "trap-manele" or "fusion" scene, where artists blend traditional manele rhythms with modern trap beats and electronic production.

Produced by at Big UP Music, the track features lyrics and composition by both Gheboasă and Bibescu. Release Date: October 11, 2022. Label: Big UP Music / MMxB.

The lyrics emphasize personal choice and a "tupeu" (bold/cheeky) attitude.

The track is characterized as "melodic" and "danceable" (Tâncevalnaia), leaning heavily on synthetic electronic sounds rather than acoustic instruments. 2. Lyricism and Thematic Content

The title, which translates to "A womanizer because that's what I want," reflects common tropes in both trap and manele:
