Music video

The music video premiered on

All Around the World uploaded the video to their YouTube channel, suggesting it would be the next UK single. This surprised many people as they were expecting "Ti Sento" to be the next UK single.[3] On 24 November, Kontor uploaded an extended version of the video to YouTube, however marked it as a private video. The video was removed several hours later, and uploaded again on 26 November, again as a private video, but this time with a message on Scooter's official website that the video would be released on 27 November. The video was released later that morning.[4]

The video is based on an old German legend, the '

Rattenfänger von Hameln' (The 'Pied Piper' (of Hamelin)).[5] In the legend, there is a rat plague in the town. A rat catcher plays on his flute, and all the rats come out of the houses and follow him and his music out of the town. In the video, Scooter plays on a truck driving through the streets and all the people come and follow them to the castle.[6]

Samples

The song is loosely based on

Black's 1985 single "Wonderful Life
" altering some of the lyrics.
