Synopsis

Tokio Hotel perform in and around a crowded, dimly lit party where desire, intimacy, and physical attraction blur together. Bill Kaulitz moves through the gathering as couples and strangers embrace, kiss, and surrender to the song's sensual energy. The video uses quick cuts, close-ups, and colorful club lighting to create a feverish, dreamlike atmosphere. Rather than following a conventional storyline, it presents a continuous rush of connection and temptation, reflecting the song's message of giving love to those who return it.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video premiered on September 30, 2014, shortly before the release of the band's fifth studio album, Kings of Suburbia. The song served as the album's lead single.
  • The production was filmed in Los Angeles, where the band had increasingly based its creative work during this period.
  • Bill Kaulitz conceived the video around the idea of a large-scale sexual encounter, but wanted to participate in the action rather than simply perform on the sidelines. That concept shaped the video's unusually intimate and immersive presentation.
  • The imagery was widely discussed as sexually fluid, matching Kaulitz's broader public rejection of restrictive ideas about gender and attraction.
  • A 30-second teaser was released ahead of the full video through Tokio Hotel's official Facebook page. The completed clip followed on the band's official YouTube channel.
  • The video's cast includes a number of performers in addition to the band, with the party scenes built around multiple simultaneous encounters instead of a single romantic pairing.
  • The song was written by Bill and Tom Kaulitz with Antonina Armato, Tim James, David Jost, and Thomas Armato Sturges. Production involved Rock Mafia and Devrim Karaoglu.
