Atemlos durch die Nacht

The song was written by pop singer and composer Kristina Bach, and produced by Jean Frankfurter. Bach says the song came to her in mere minutes while she was on the Spanish island of Mallorca. The song was originally intended for Bach to sing it herself, but at an event, Helene Fischer asked if Bach had a new song for her. Initially, she declined, but later she gave the song to Fischer. The song narrates a perfect night between a loving couple, a night without taboos and full of freedom that should never end. The music video opens with a shot of the Chicago skyline and streets at dusk. Fischer then prepares for the evening. She drives a BMW M6 convertible to the first party location, where she sings her song with the guests. Later, she leaves the party with two friends and takes a traditional London black cab to the next location, a bar. After a short time, she leaves this location as well and goes to a nightclub. Interspersed throughout are shots of Chicago at night and Fischer singing the song at different locations. She is dressed differently at each location, showcasing a total of six outfits. The video runs for 3 minutes and 37 seconds and was directed by Oliver Sommer. == Other versions ==

Kristina Bach, the composer of "Atemlos durch die Nacht", also released a version of this song in English sung by herself. This version is known as "Take a Breath". The music video for this version was shot in Rome. The song was also covered in Dutch as "Ademloos door de nacht", by Loona and Ferry de Lits in the Netherlands; as "Jij en ik", by Laura Lynn in Belgium; as well as in Afrikaans as "Asemloos" by Liezel Pieters in South Africa. It was also parodied by Austrian punk band Turbobier as "Arbeitslos durch den Tag" (Unemployed Through the Day) in 2015. The melody was also used as an interval act during the second-semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2016 performed by Swedish singer Charlotte Perrelli as "Här står jag" (Here I Stand), a Swedish-language metasong referring to the decline in success of Schlager music during Melodifestivalen. In 2018, the DJ Black Noize made a remix of this song in the hardstyle style. In 2023, the song was remixed by female rapper Shirin David, which eventually became the only version of the song to top the German charts. In the thirteenth season of The Voice of Holland, the song was covered by Steffany Markovits. The live recording is featured on the album The Blind Auditions #6 (Seizoen 13), which was digitally released on 20 February 2026. == Track listings ==
