The first release of "Tau mich auf" was on 31 January 2025, as a single on the music labels Bamboo Artists and Epic Records.

The play tells of a restless life in which the protagonist rushes from day to day, yet is repeatedly confronted with the past and painful experiences. It is about the feeling of being emotionally frozen—a kind of defense mechanism after too many disappointments—and the encounter with a person who could break through these walls.
