What if love and euphoria could be summoned with a single, risky question? In “Willst Du,” German producer Robin Schulz teams up with rapper Alligatoah to spin a tongue-in-cheek invitation: “Willst du mit mir Drogen nehmen?” (Do you want to take drugs with me?). The repeated promise that it will then “rain red roses” paints a vivid picture of instant, over-the-top bliss. Yet the line “Ich hab’s in einer Soap gesehen” (I saw it in a soap opera) exposes the fantasy—our narrator is chasing a TV-made illusion, not reality.
Behind the catchy chorus and club-friendly beat, the song playfully critiques how pop culture glamorizes quick fixes for happiness. It highlights a clash between real life’s complexities and the tempting simplicity of escapism, asking listeners to ponder whether true connection comes from shared experiences or from indulging in romanticized highs. The result is a dazzling track that sounds like a carefree party anthem while slyly warning us not to believe everything that rains down like roses on the screen.
