Information

• A teaser for the video was released on 23 December 2019 on the official Lindemann YouTube channel.
• The "One Shot Video" release featured the following comment from director Zoran Bihać in the video's description: "In order to create an authentic atmosphere and draw real reactions from Till, we decided to shoot the interrogation scene in a one-shot. It was complicated because I also wanted to have the wide shot at the end within the same take, so we decided to shoot it with a drone. While Till is performing and getting beaten, the rotors had to start up and the drone had to be released at the right time. Till, our cast and the camera team had to synchronize perfectly to the timing of the song or else it wouldn’t work. In the end, we decided it was best for the music video to cut in some other nice scenes, but I always had the idea to show the one-shot in its raw form some day."
• The videos for the Drago Baotić Version, Pain Version and the Clemens Wijers Version followed on 13 January 2020.
• The Drago Baotić Version actually uses three different versions done by Drago Baotić, which are in order of appearance: shuffle rock, balkan and bossanova. Each one was meant to be included on a potential single for the song, back when the album release was initially scheduled for 2019.
• Diana Aizatullina, the actress that got dragged through the snow, was featured in an article by elu24.ee: "To be honest, I didn't know who the artist was at first," laughs Diana. "The fact that I had to be naked in the cold where the temperature is below -20°C for a music video was not a problem for me, but a challenge," says the young dancer, who was dragged along the snowy ground by Lindemann and then danced with. It was quite a challenge for Diana, who says she is a warm-weather person. "I may even feel cold at +20°C," she adds with a smile. Diana has nothing but good things to say about the film crew and the German singer. "Till was friendly and polite, and I didn't get the feeling that one of us was fancier or more important than the other. Everyone was equal. Once on the set, I realized that it didn't matter how long I had to be out in the -20°C cold, as long as I always had a great team by my side to take care of me." Lindemann's music video was made in collaboration with Nafta Films. "I came into contact with them for the first time in this project and I was pleasantly surprised. There was a very safe feeling at the scene, as an ambulance team was present just in case, there were heaters in the tents, and hot tea with ginger was served. And the team was quick to react, as at the end of each shot they ran to me with a jacket and warm boots." According to Diana, thanks to such projects and situations a dancer becomes more professional.
