The album features a cover of a Falco song, "Rock Me Amadeus", and continued Megaherz's tradition of having one song per album based on a fairy tale with the track "Rappunzel", which alludes to the story of the same name. The track "Freiflug" re-uses lyrics from the song "Spring in die Schlucht" from the Herzwerk album. The opening track, "Liebestöter", brought the album most of its popularity abroad.
The album was re-released in the US in 2005 as II (read as "Two" or "Zwei"), with the handgun removed from the album art. The resulting effect appears as if the clown is reaching for a fist bump.
^ "Liebestöter" ("Love-killer"), a pun on the German word for unattractive underwear.
^ "Bitch" is a slightly inaccurate translation in that "Miststück" is a non-gender-specific insult, though the context of the song makes it clear that the "Miststück" is a female. "Miststück" literally means "piece of crap".
^ "Jordan" is named for the expression "to cross the Jordan" (Jordan River), meaning "to die".
