"Rosenkrieg" (German:
Background and composition
In 2019, Loredana and Mozzik announced their separation, approximately a year after the birth of their daughter Hana.[1] Prior to the release of "Rosenkrieg" in May 2021, a social media post by Loredana featuring her with a newborn child in her arms sparked rumors that the couple had reunited and married for a second time.[2][3] The latter themes were addressed during the song's Albanian and German-language lyrics, wherein, both attempt to elaborate their separation and seek to find answers to the questions of why it had come so far.[4][5] "Rosenkrieg" was written by Loredana, Mozzik, Saru, Selmon, Smajl Shaqiri, Takt and Vito, while the production was handled by Jumpa, Loredana and Mozzik.[6][7] The song was independently released for digital download and streaming on 28 May 2021 as the lead single from their collaborative studio album No Rich Parents (2021).[6][8]
Reception and promotion
"Rosenkrieg" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Swiss website Lyrics Magazin found the song "perfectly" backed by a "theatrical beat", which with the use of a vocal sample and an acoustic guitar, brought out the emotions even more.[3] Mira Weingart from Red Bull described it as "emotional" and very "personal".[9] "Rosenkrieg" attained commercial success in German-speaking Europe. The single topped the Official German Charts in June 2021, and also reached the top five in Austria and Switzerland, respectively.[10]
An accompanying music video for "Rosenkrieg" was uploaded to Mozzik's official YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release on 28 May 2021.[11] The video was directed by Fati.tv and Haris Dubica and produced by Luka Katic and Nancho by Fati.tv.[11][12] It features scenes of Loredana and Mozzik during their time together as a couple, including reenacted shots from their separation and reunion as well as the birth of their daughter.[13] During Loredana's Red Bull Symphonic concert in November 2021, the single was presented in an orchestral version, which was labelled by Martin Seebacher, as a "banger".[14]
