Background and release
German girl group LaViVe was formed on the ninth installment of the German adaption of the international television talent show Popstars in 2010. The group consists of Meike Ehnert, Sarah Rensing, Julia Köster and Katrin Mehlberg.[8] LaViVe recorded a cover of "No Sleepin'" after a demo version of the song was handed to their management by a Romanian producing team.[21][22] Their rendition, titled "No Time for Sleeping", was released on a CD single in Germany on 10 December 2010 by Starwatch Music,[23] as licensed by Corina's label.[9] The CD single additionally contains versions of the song recorded by three fellow eliminated contestants on that year's Popstars.[23]
Reception
"No Time for Sleeping" received mixed reviews from music critics upon its release. German singer Thomas M. Stein praised the commercial appeal of the song.[22] An editor of German website Promicabana applauded the song and its rap part, although foreseeing the commercial failure of the track.[24] Similarly, B.Z. criticized "No Time for Sleeping" as repetitive and denied its success.[8]

Music video
An accompanying music video for "No Time for Sleeping" premiered during the night of 9 December 2010, with a snippet shown earlier that day during the Popstars finale to choose the final member for LaViVe.[29] During the visual, the group is shown dancing in front of a wall that constantly changes its colors or residing in a club.[30] It was received with mixed reviews from music critics. An editor of Promiflash praised the visual's playful vibe and pointed out the members' professionality.[30] Conversely, a writer on website Promicabana criticized the video as "trash" and unspectacular, further noting the members' peculiar dance movements.[29] In late December 2010, an alternative version of the clip featuring eliminated Popstars candidate Esra Ünvers as part of LaVive was leaked onto the internet, prompting observers to question the show's credibility.[31]
