Pa Olvidarte (with Rolf Sanchez)
The explosion of her career in the Netherlands. What started as a one-time performance on "Beste Zangers" grew into one of the greatest Dutch-language hits of all time. The mix of Dutch and Spanish, the passion between Emma and Rolf, and that unforgettable melody made this a national phenomenon. Without this song, Emma Heesters wouldn't be the superstar she is today.
Alone With You (with Yves Berendse)
The duet queen struck again, this time with Yves Berendse. The song breathes romance and warmth. The chemistry between the two is tangible in every note. It's the kind of song that will be played at every wedding and shows why Emma is the ideal partner for every male singer in the Netherlands.
Everything Gets Better
A fragile and hopeful track that Emma wrote during a difficult period in her life. It's a song that has brought comfort to many people. Her voice sounds more vulnerable than ever, and the message that there's always light on the horizon comes straight from the heart.
Weight of Gravity (with Regi)
Together with the Belgian dance master Regi, she created this energetic track that forces you to dance. The song hovers somewhere between pop and dance and shows how well Emma's voice fits with a driving beat. It became a massive summer hit and is still one of the absolute highlights live.
Don't Leave (with Kris Kross Amsterdam & Tino Martin)
One of those rare tracks where everything clicks: the production from Kris Kross, the soulful voice of Tino and Emma's pop vocals. The result is a modern classic that was worn out on every terrace and in every club. An absolute juggernaut that shows how well she works with other talented voices.

The collaboration with the Flemish singer Metejoor was a real hit. The two voices complement each other perfectly in this catchy, summery song. It became a massive hit in both the Netherlands and Belgium and is still one of her most beloved tracks.
Be Okay
An anthem for everyone who has gone through a breakup and emerged stronger. It's powerful, slightly brutal and vocally very strong. Emma sings here with a confidence that's contagious; you don't need pity because she'll manage just fine.
Where Are You Going
Her first major solo success after the "Beste Zangers" adventure. The song has a wonderful beat and a chorus that immediately nestles in your head. It marked her definitive transition from cover artist to a full-fledged pop star with her own recognizable sound.
Holiday
When Emma decides to make a Christmas song, she does so with the sparkle and energy we've come to expect from her. Holiday is a cheerful, upbeat track that immediately puts you in a good mood.
Girl From the Class
A very personal song where Emma looks back on her school days and the insecurities that came with them. It's a tribute to her younger self and to everyone who ever felt like an outsider. The lyrics are genuine and the music video makes the story even more powerful; a side of Emma we rarely see.
