The release was initially planned for February 27, 2009, but moved to February 20. This song was chosen for the second single, because it became clear on the machmalauter-tour, that this is one of the fan favourites.[1]

The song is a generally a hymn about nostalgia and how one should not regret what has been done and what has not been.

It peaked at #9 at the German Single Charts.
