Wie schön du bist

"Wie schön du bist" (German: How Beautiful You Are) is a song by German recording artist Sarah Connor. It was written and produced by Connor along with Peter Plate, Ulf Leo Sommer, and Daniel Faust for her ninth studio album Muttersprache (2015). An ode to her son Tyler, the uplifting pop ballad was conceived after a dispute with him. Her first single in German, the song was released as the album's lead single on 1 May 2015 in German-speaking Europe; it has since reached number two on the German Singles Chart.
