The song is mostly in English but also contains German lyrics, notably a rap by Trooper Da Don and Kim's recurring "Gib's mir richtig, ganz egal wo" (Give it to me right, no matter where). The song samples its instrumental beat from Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" and its chorus is a re-interpretation of the hit song "Hypnotize" by Notorious B.I.G. The song also features the title melody of the German version of Sesame Street transposed to minor scale.
