After years spent on stage in Bulgaria and around the world, Zornitsa Petrova presents her first original song – "Leti" (Fly). In her words, the song "Leti" came to her naturally. She wrote the music and the lyrics. The arrangement is by Shterion Pilidov.


The singer says that "Leti" was born during a difficult period in her life, when she was searching for her path as an artist.

"I have lived through every word I’ve sung. That period was very difficult for me. I believe that when we call a song powerful and successful, it’s strong because there’s hardly anyone who hasn’t asked themselves: ''Is it too late for me? Can I handle this? What will people say?'' That’s what was driving me, what I was experiencing at the time. It’s never too late, as long as you’re alive. As long as you’re breathing, there’s still time to make your dreams come true, and I say that to myself, too. I fulfilled the promise I made to little Zornitsa. Now it’s time to change the scale."
