Ever wished you could press delete on an ex and skip the inevitable awkward reunion? In “2x”, Austrian pop-sensation Mathea turns that universal feeling into a sing-along anthem of self-respect. The title plays on the German saying “Man sieht sich immer zweimal”—you always meet twice—but Mathea flips it on its head, insisting she would rather not meet again at all. Over catchy beats she scrolls through memories of unfinished movies, a solo Berlin trip, and late-night phone calls she now refuses to answer. Every lyric is a mini-snapshot of a relationship that once felt like number one but has slid firmly into the recycle bin.
The song is part heartbreak diary, part empowerment playlist. Mathea deletes photos, ignores Tinder talk, and shuts the door on “let’s stay friends,” showing learners how German phrases can capture big emotions in punchy lines. “2x” is a bold reminder that moving on can be just as melodic as falling in love—and sometimes the best encore is no encore at all.
