Background
"Tha Melaholiso" was first released in 1996 by Sony Music on Garbi's album Arhizo Polemo and became one of the most iconic songs of the 1990s.

The song was written and produced by Phoebus, an emerging songwriter who had made his songwriting debut in 1992, and subsequently found success as a songwriter included on Garbi's 1993 album Os Ton Paradeiso.

By 1996 Phoebus and Garbi's collaboration had resulted in a gold and platinum album certification. Their third album collaboration spawned various original concepts not seen in the commercial Greek records of that period in time; this included a song in the style of a hasapiko featuring a bridge-chorus format ("Hamena") and the song "Tha Melagholiso" which featured a two-part chorus.

The laïko style track "Tha Melagholiso" written by Phoebus, featured a unique dual chorus which until that point had not been a feature of any song of the Greek music industry. The first chorus begins with 'Tha melagholiso, ki'istera ego ki'istera ego pos tha sinehiso... (,' while the second begins with 'Kita me pou kleo san paidi ki etia agapi mou eisai esi...('
