“The Best is Dirty Slippers’ 5th English-language single. The recording was made in the summer of 2023 at Abbey Road Studios in London under the supervision of producer George Shilling (Oasis, Frank Turner, Mike Oldfield), who also contributed to the creation of the lyrics. The song is a love anthem, with emotional vocals, acoustic guitar melodies and sing-along, catchy choruses. The song centres around a young man in love who has ruined his relationship with the love of his life. He does everything he can to win back his heart’s desire, but the woman no longer wants to speak to him ever again, and in fact, she is already ready for a new relationship. Most people have experienced something like this, which is why this song serves as a remedy for broken hearts. The music video features Lobó-Szalóky Lázár as the frontman, alongside the wonderful internationally renowned Hungarian actress, Mészöly Anna, who is also seen in the Oscar-winning film “The Brutalist” alongside Adrian Brody, among others” – Dirty Slippers
