After 3 weeks “on air” “The Enemy went to no 11 on the official Danish Airplay Chart and proved to be the right follow up to “Deep Sleep” The song is about being secretly in love with a good friend yet giving him advise about other girls in his life, whilst to get his attention and hoping he will discover that love is right in front of him. “The Enemy” created the sound and direction for the album ‘Cracks’ and was the first song Nabiha wrote with Carl Ryden and therefore it is a very significant and special song to Nabiha.
