The song is based on "Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline" from the album of the same title. The hook has the same lyrics. The song contains a sample from the song "Terminal" by the band Antimatter.[1]

The single was one of the most successful hip hop singles in Germany; it reached place 14 in the charts.

Music video

The music video shows scenes where people are frozen still, as if time suddenly stops. Bushido is the only person who moves. This effect is called "Ghost".

These scenes refer to the chorus' line: "Von der Skyline zum Bordstein zurück, siehst du unsere Welt, wie sie niemals still steht" ("From the skyline back to the curb, do you see our world, how it never stands still").

The video was shot in a supermarket, roll stairs, an underground car park garage and a pub. In the underground car park Bushido leans on a BMW 7. The video reached number 1 in the TRL Top 10. This brought him a golden tape.

gollark: It also ships a "fuse filter" thing, which is apparently based on similar principles but mildly more compact, except construction can fail, and according to their empirical testing it needs over 100000 keys to have a decent chance of not failing, and the only explanation is a link to an incomprehensible paper on properties of hypergraphs.
gollark: I found a crate for it.
gollark: Also, I'm wondering if I *should* actually make it store the full text of stuff, for highlighting the relevant bits.
gollark: As of now the search is just limited to ANDing all the bitmaps; it doesn't do ranking, nearness, multiple boolean operators, sort of thing.
gollark: 3 tokens, right now, I can fiddle with that.
