Premiered on his YouTube channel on 8 February 2016, "Moment of Silence" was written and composed by Ovidiu Anton, while production was handled by Liviu Sorescu. Although withdrawn from the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, it was featured on the contest's official compilation, "Eurovision Song Contest: Stockholm 2016", released on 15 April 2016. "Moment of Silence" is a "song of the soul, for the souls", acting as a homage to the victims of the 2015 Colectiv nightclub fire. A gothic-inspired pop rock track, it contains an electric guitar solo throughout.
