In 2019, Heesters appeared on the Dutch tv-series Beste Zangers where she covered โPa Olvidarteโ by ChocQuibTown with Dominican-Dutch singer Rolf Sanchez. The single became a breakout hit, peaking at #2 on the official Dutch Top 40. It ranked as one of the biggest hits of the 2010s.
She then continued to release singles in Dutch. Her follow-up โLoop Niet Wegโ with Kris Kross Amsterdam and Tino Martin became a Top 5-hit, while โWaar Ga Je Heenโ became a platinum-certified Top 20-hit in the Netherlands.
In 2021, she again collaborated with Kris Kross Amsterdam on Ronnie Flexโs big comeback single โAlles Wat Ik Misโ, which became Heesters her third Top 10-hit on the Dutch official singles chart. Later that year, she crossed over to Belgium as a feature on Metejoorโs โRendez-vousโ. It became a summer hit and peaked inside the Top 5 of the Flemish Ultratop 50. She also appeared on The Masked Singer as the Crocodile.
In 2022, she continued to score hits in Belgium. Her collaboration โZwaartekrachtโ with Rรฉgi became a platinum-certified Top 10-hit. She also performed on Tien Om Te Zien. The singles however failed to impact the Dutch charts in any significant way. Her 2023 duet โDat Hadden Wij Moeten Zijnโ with Belgian singer Maksim became Heesters her third Top 10-hit in the Flemish Ultratop 50.

They look up to me
I got fake people showin' fake love to me

The song "Fake Love" by Emma Heesters is about the feelings of betrayal and disappointment that come with realizing someone you trusted has been fake with you. The lyrics describe the experience of being down for so long that even fake love looks like the real thing, but now the singer has seen through the faรงade and can no longer trust the person who has been showing them fake love to their face. The singer is frustrated with the other person's inability to be honest and upfront about their true intentions, evidenced by their smile to the singer's face while they secretly try to take their place. The singer has had enough of the fake love and calls out the phoniness with lines like "I can tell that love is fake, I don't trust a word you say."
The chorus of the song repeats twice, emphasizing the point of feeling let down by people they trusted. The verses describe a situation of someone speaking to the singer and pretending like nothing is wrong when really they are hiding their problems and not committed to the relationship. The singer is wise to their game and knows that they will never be able to run them. The chorus resumes with the same emphasis on the fake love, followed by a bridge that changes the pace of the song slightly, emphasizing how quickly things changed when the singer came into fame. The betrayal is more pronounced because of the singer's sudden success, causing the other person to change their behavior and try to take advantage of their newfound fame.
Overall, "Fake Love" is a song of disappointment and betrayal wrapped up in catchy pop beats. It speaks to a universal experience of feeling let down by people you thought you could trust.

BTS - Fake Love Lyrics:
For you I could pretend I was happy I could hide away the sorrow
For you I could feign strength, numb the pain, and be the girl you can depend on
Iโm wishing lovin was perfect, Iโm praying
You donโt realize deep inside that Iโm broken
I trusted in a dream, a hopeless cause
now I watch the flowers as they wither
I'm so sick of this
Fake Love, Fake Love, Fake Love
I'm so sorry but it's
Fake Love, Fake Love, Fake Love
I wanna be a good one (just for you)
Give you the world love (just for you)
Forget who I was (just for you)
Now I donโt know me, (who are you?)
forest for us two, love where have you gone
I forgot the route, wandered now I'm lost
Iโm starting to fade, to what you want to see
For your happiness, I have lost all of me
For you I could pretend I was happy I could hide away the sorrow
For you I could feign strength, numb the pain, and be the girl you can depend on
Love you so bad, Love you so bad
A perfect illusion created for you
Love you so mad, Love you so mad
A beautiful doll, in the image you drew
I'm so sick of all this
Fake Love, Fake Love, Fake Love
I'm so sorry but it's
Fake Love, Fake Love, Fake Love
For you I could pretend I was happy I could hide away the sorrow
For you I could feign strength, numb the pain, and be the girl you can depend on
Iโm wishing lovin was perfect, Iโm praying
You donโt realize deep inside that Iโm broken
I trusted in a dream, a hopeless cause
now I watch the flowers as they wither

[Intro: V, Jungkook]
For you, I could pretend like I was happy when I was sad
For you, I could pretend like I was strong when I was hurt
I wish love was perfect as love itself
I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden
I grew a flower that canโt be bloomed in a dream that canโt come true
[Hook: Jimin, Jin]
I'm so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry but it's fake love, fake love, fake love
[Verse 1: RM, RM & Jungkook, J-Hope]
I wanna be a good man, just for you
I gave the world, just for you
I changed everything, just for you
But I don't know me, Who are you?
The forest just for us, you werenโt there
The route I took, I forgot
I even became quite unsure of who I was
Try babbling into the mirror, who the heck are you?
[Pre-Chorus: Jimin, Jin]
For you, I could pretend like I was happy when I was sad
For you, I could pretend like I was strong when I was hurt
I wish love was perfect as love itself
I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden
I grew a flower that canโt be bloomed in a dream that canโt come true
[Chorus: Jungkook, V]
Love you so bad, love you so bad
Mold a pretty lie for you
Love itโs so mad, love itโs so mad
Try to erase myself and make me your doll
Love you so bad, love you so bad
Mold a pretty lie for you
Love itโs so mad, love itโs so mad
Try to erase myself and make me your doll
[Hook: Jimin, Jin]
I'm so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry but it's fake love, fake love, fake love
[Verse 2: RM, Suga]
Why you sad? I donโt know. I donโt know
Smile, say "I love you"
Look at me, even I gave up on myself
Even you canโt understand me
You say Iโm unfamiliar, changed into the one you used to like
You say Iโm not myself which you knew well
No? What do you mean no, Iโm blind
Love? What the heck is love, itโs all fake love
[Bridge: Jimin, Jin]
Woo, I dunno, I dunno, I dunno why
Woo, even I, even I donโt know myself
Woo, I just know, I just know, I just know why
Cuz itโs all fake love, fake love, fake love
[Chorus: Jungkook, Jimin]
Love you so bad, love you so bad
Mold a pretty lie for you
Love itโs so mad, love itโs so mad
Try to erase myself and make me your doll
Love you so bad, love you so bad
Mold a pretty lie for you
Love itโs so mad, love itโs so mad
Try to erase myself and make me your doll
[Hook: Jimin, Jin]
I'm so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry but it's fake love, fake love, fake love
[Outro: Jimin/V, Jungkook/Jin]
For you, I could pretend like I was happy when I was sad
For you, I could pretend like I was strong when I was hurt
I wish love was perfect as love itself
I wish all my weaknesses could be hidden
I grew a flower that canโt be bloomed in a dream that canโt come true
