"Gaan we weg?" (transl. Are We Going Away?) is a song by Dutch singer and songwriter Roxy Dekker and rapper Ronnie Flex. It was written by Dekker alongside Julian Vahle, Renske te Buck, Flex and Ucahzo Hoogdorp, with production handled by Vahle. The single was released on 12 July 2024 as the fourth single from her debut studio album, Mama I Made It.
"Gaan we weg?" was written by Julian Vahle, Renske te Buck, Ronell Plasschaert, Roxy Dekker and Ucahzo Hoogdorp and produced by Vahle. The genre of the song is a mix of Nederpop, house and pop rap.[1] The song was written shortly after Dekker released her first hit single "Anne-Fleur vakantie".[2] After the success of that song, Dekker decided to send Ronnie Flex a message via Instagram asking if they wanted to go into the studio together, to which the rapper responded enthusiastically. The song was made and Dekker said that she was emotional when she heard it for the first time because she thought her and Ronnie Flex' voices matched so well. Gaan we weg? was not released until a year later, after Dekker had had several major hits in the Netherlands with "Satisfyer", "Sugardaddy" and "Huisfeestje". Before the single was released, Dekker shared several videos on TikTok in which she played fragments of the song.[3] The single was finally released on 12 July 2024.
