On January 16, 2009, Eisblume released their debut single "Eisblumen" (German for "Frost Flowers"), a cover of Subway to Sally's song originally released in 2005. This version, which was produced by Ingo Politz of Valicon, reached number three on the German singles charts and went on to become the 43rd best-selling single of 2009 in Germany. [2] The song's video also earned the band a nomination for the "Best National Video" at the 2009 ECHO awards. [3] They were also nominated for three VIVA Comet awards in 2009: "Best Newcomers", Best Online Star" and "Best Video". [4]

The second single released from the album, "Leben ist Schön" (German for "Life is Beautiful"), peaked at number 18, and helped their album to return to the Top 20 of the German album charts when it was released in April 2009. Their third single "Louise", a cover version of a Bell, Book & Candle song translated into German, was released in November 2009 and peaked at twenty-nine. The song helped them to earn their second and third ECHO award nominations for "Best National Video" and "Best National Newcomer" in 2010. [5]
