NO WORDS' In Filipa's new single, No Words, she speaks about the captivating chemistry between two people in love.

When communication happens through body language and exchanged glances; when you know a person so well and know what they are thinking without much being said; when you are so in love with and captivated by another person that this energy takes over and nothing else matters, said Filipa.

Having gone through such feelings and because I always get inspiration from my own personal experiences. I got into the studio one day and knew this was what I was going to write about!
