Background and composition

Both the composition and the Bavarian lyrics were written by the artist Beni Hafner (Oimara) himself, along with co-writers Andreas Frei, Niklas Nubel, and Matthias Riegler. [2] Frei was also responsible for production. [3] The idea for the song came to Oimara while visiting a furniture store. [4]

"Wackelkontakt" was first released as a single on 2 August 2024. It was released as a digital single track for download and streaming on the music labels Stereopol Records, Virgin Records, and Zeitgeist Records. On 21 February 2025, a remix by HBz and Luca-Dante Spadafora was released as a digital single track. A week later, another remix by Harris & Ford was released. [5]
