In 2019, Heesters appeared on the Dutch tv-series Beste Zangers where she covered “Pa Olvidarte” 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 “Loop Niet Weg” with Kris Kross Amsterdam and Tino Martin became a Top 5-hit, while “Waar Ga Je Heen” became a platinum-certified Top 20-hit in the Netherlands.
In 2021, she again collaborated with Kris Kross Amsterdam on Ronnie Flex’s big comeback single “Alles Wat Ik Mis”, 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 Metejoor’s “Rendez-vous”. 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 “Zwaartekracht” with Régi 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 “Dat Hadden Wij Moeten Zijn” with Belgian singer Maksim became Heesters her third Top 10-hit in the Flemish Ultratop 50.

I need more hours with you
You spent the weekend
Getting even, ooh ooh
We spent the late nights
Making things right, between us
But now it′s all good babe
Roll that Backwood babe
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
′Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
I spent last night
On the last flight to you
Took a whole day up
Trying to get way up, ooh ooh
We spent the daylight
Trying to make things right between us
And now it's all good babe
Roll that Backwood babe
And play me close
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
′Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

The song "Girls Like You" by Emma Heesters speaks about the desire for a certain type of girl, specifically one who is fun-loving and adventurous. The lyrics begin by expressing the singer's need for more time with this girl, indicating a desire for a deeper connection. The weekend spent together is described as an effort to make amends, and any issues are now resolved.
The chorus repeats the phrase "girls like you" and emphasizes the contrast between these girls and the singer, who describes himself as a guy who isn't usually associated with this type of girl. Despite this, there is a sense of inevitability conveyed in the lyrics, as he claims that these girls run around with guys like him until sundown.
The second verse further emphasizes the lengths the singer is willing to go to be with this girl, even flying last minute to her to spend more time together. The chorus once again highlights the need for a girl like her in his life, as they share a love of fun and excitement.
Overall, "Girls Like You" is a song about finding connection and the desire for a certain type of love interest. The lyrics convey a sense of exploration and excitement, with an emphasis on enjoying life to the fullest.
