Bibi Heinicke träumt von Gesangskarriere.''] In: ''Promiflash''</ref> After that, she contacted the songwriter Sam Sommer in order to produce her own song. He sent her the demo version of a song he had written years ago. Heinicke recorded the vocals of this demo version afterwards. Concerning the release as well as the promotion campaign, she worked together with Warner Music and additionally took singing lessons.

In the chorus, a kick starts to accompany the song. After another two stanzas and a chorus, the song comes to a breakdown before the chorus sets in for a second time.

In the song, the narrator says to remain optimistic although pursued by misfortune, and that this proves to be the right way in the end. Heinicke summarized the content of the song in her announcement video, saying that it was about the story of a person who, in spite of many negative events, should not give up.
