The lyrics were criticised by Germany's feminist magazine EMMA. They voted Roger Cicero "Pasha of the Month" (a title for men who display chauvinist attitudes) because of the song's lyrics. They were of the opinion that the line “Und schon öffnen sich Tasche und Herz und dann kaufst du ´n Ring und ´n Nerz“ (translation: And soon your wallet and heart open and then you buy a ring and mink coat) is antiquated. (EMMA Magazine Issue 3/2007)

The song was succeeded as the German representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 by No Angels with "Disappear".
