"In Your Eyes" is a song recorded by Romanian singer

Roton, featuring the vocal collaboration of Puerto Rican reggaeton performer Yandel. The track–recorded at the Rokstone Studios–was written by Steve Mac, Yandel and Ina Wroldsen, while production was solely handled by Mac. Musically, "In Your Eyes" is inspired by Latin music and encompasses a hip hop
style because of Yandel's contribution.

Music critics praised the song's catchiness and called it suitable for night clubs. "In Your Eyes" was also nominated for an award in the Pop/Dance Song of the Year category at the 2014 Radio România Actualități Awards. To promote the track, an accompanying music video was shot by Barna Nemethi in Bucharest and Miami, uploaded onto Inna's official YouTube channel on 16 October 2013. It makes use of

neon colors and features pole dance, with reviewers comparing it to the visual of Rihanna's "Pour It Up
" (2013). The singer also performed "In Your Eyes" on various occasions. Commercially, it reached the top 50 in Turkey, Poland, Spain and Romania.

Background and release

"In Your Eyes" has a fast pace,

Tophit editor wrote that the song was "full of freedom and desire", calling it suitable for night clubs.[7] Reagan Gavin Rasquinh from The Times of India believed "In Your Eyes" was the catchiest track from Party Never Ends, although he found the chorus to be a "silly bit overdubbed".[9] The recording received a nomination in the Pop/Dance Song of the Year category at the 2014 Radio România Actualități Awards.[10]

Commercially, the track debuted on Romania's

Dance Top 50.[7][13] "In Your Eyes" was moderately successful in Spain, where it debuted at number 48 and reached number 31, spending eight weeks.[14] Turkey marks the country where the song achieved its highest ranking, at number 15.[15]

Music video

Shot from the music video, showcasing its use of neon and water effects. This and other aspects led its visual being likened to Rihanna's "Pour It Up" (2013).

An accompanying music video for "In Your Eyes" was shot by Barna Nemethi in late August 2013 in

Springbreakers (2013) and material by Die Antwoord.[16]

The music video commences with Inna wearing a pink leotard, following which she and other women practice

slut drop in front of a wet glass surface.[2]

Pure Charts' Yohann Ruelle called the music video "sexy", likening it to that of Rihanna's "Pour It Up" (2013) for the use of light outfits, pole dance sequences and the "play of light, between mist and sensual neon".[6] Alexandra Necula from InfoMusic echoed Ruelle's thought, further noting the use of water effects in both clips.[5] An editor of Libertatea wrote, "The singer appears little dressed, exposing her perfect body. One of the hottest scenes is where Inna appears with a blonde blouse that leaves a part of her breasts in sight to incite the imagination of those who will see the video."[17]

Live performances

On 5 November 2013, Inna uploaded a video on YouTube where she was performing "In Your Eyes" on the roof of a building in

World Trade Center Mexico.[20]
