Romania's "Choke Me" is a catchy rock song reminiscent of Within Temptation. The song has been criticized for allegedly promoting sexual violence.

Alexandra Căpitănescu said: "I have a responsibility to the people who listen to my music, come to my concerts or follow me on Social Media. 'Choke Me' is a metaphor for the pressure we sometimes place on ourselves. It speaks about inner fears, self-doubt, and the feeling of being emotionally suffocated by our own expectations. It was never intended to represent anything sexual.
