Casablanca – More than a year after its release, “Unethical” by Moroccan-Canadian singer Faouzia has climbed to No. 148 on Spotify’s Global chart, with the song surpassing 100 million streams.
Since its release, the track has continued to attract fans with its powerful vocals, intense atmosphere, and Faouzia’s ability to pour every ounce of emotion into a performance.
She does not simply sing “Unethical.” She gives it everything, from the smallest vocal shifts to the full force of its most intense moments.
And somehow, months after its release, social media still cannot get enough.
A performance that feels personal
Part of the song’s appeal lies in the way Faouzia delivers it. Her voice moves from delicate restraint to striking power, giving the track a sense of tension that builds with every line. She sings with her whole body, making each note feel lived rather than rehearsed.
That intensity has helped “Unethical” keep finding new listeners long after its initial release.
The music video adds another layer to the song, giving its emotional tension a visual dimension that deepens the experience of the song.
Paired with Faouzia’s vocals, the visuals allow the track’s intensity to move beyond the lyrics and take on a life of its own.
That same intensity takes on a different force on stage, where Faouzia’s commanding delivery makes every performance feel like an experience of its own.
With each live rendition, she gives fans another reason to return to the song, leaving them eager to see how she will bring it to life next.
Its growing reach also reflects Faouzia’s ability to connect with audiences on her own terms as an independent artist, without losing the distinctive sound that sets her apart.
A glimpse into the creative process
Faouzia recently gave fans another reason to revisit the song when she shared a video recorded before “Unethical” came out. The clip captures an earlier version of her singing the track, with small differences in the lyrics and melody compared with the final release.
The behind-the-scenes glimpse offers a rare look at how the song took shape before it reached listeners. It also lets fans hear the creative process in motion, from the early ideas to the version they now know.
For a song that continues to gain momentum more than a year later, the clip adds another layer to its story. Fans get to revisit “Unethical” while hearing a little of the work and experimentation that went into creating it.
