Something About Us

About Something About Us

"Something About Us" is a song by all-female German pop band No Angels. It was chiefly written by band member Vanessa Petruo along with frequent collaborator Thorsten Brötzmann and Alexander Geringas for the group's second studio album Now... Us! (2002), and created as a response to what the band felt was intense and sometimes unfair and inaccurate media criticism at the time, predominantly resulting from the clichés and prejudices generally associated with their manufactured band image. Produced by Brötzmann and co-producer Jeo, the uptempo track incorporates elements of both the contemporary R&B and dance-pop genre as well as Latin-pop and church music during the bridge. Released as the album's leading single on May 6, 2002 in German-speaking Europe, the record achieved major success by becoming the group's third non-consecutive number-one hit in Austria and Germany within a period of fifteen months. In addition, it reached number three on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart and number eleven in Switzerland, eventually going platinum. The record was generally well received by contemporary critics, who acclaimed the band for the production and inclusion of self-written material, and was nominated for both a 2002 Top of the Pops Awards and the 2003 ECHO Award for Best National Single — Rock/Pop. more »

I bet you think we don't know how to be a part of this game 
We don't want to talk about the reason but it's true 
We are not the same 
I bet you think what we had is like a picture with no frame 
Baby don't worry and remember the right people know our name 

You try to figure out is it real is it show 
I don't want to hear this nasty stuff 
'Cause you don't know the things I know 
Don't ask me what it's all about 
You've gotta understand 
We're doing things we want to do, we're chosen to 
We're trying to be as real as we can 
Here's something about us straight from the heart 
We belong together right from the start 
Destiny told us there is no doubt 
Respect is what it's all about 

I bet you think we don't know what we have got to do 
'Cause every time you come around you act like we don't have a clue 
And I bet you think we still care if you will like us too 
But we are through, yeah 

You try to figure out is it real is it show 
I don't want to hear this nasty stuff 
'Cause you don't know the things I know 
Don't ask me what it's all about 
You've gotta understand 
We do the things we want to do, we've chosen to 
We try to be as real as we can 

There's something about us straight from the heart 
We belong together right from the start 
Destiny told us there is no doubt 
Respect is what it's all about 

There's something about us you can't explain 
The only thing we're here for is to entertain 
Destiny told us not to run away 
We will make it anyway 

God please save us we are just five angels 
We are puppets on a string 
God please help us we don't earn any money 

Something about us 
This is coming from our heart 
We belong together right from the start
Destiny told us there should be no doubt 

Something about us 
It's something that you can't explain 
All we want to do is to entertain 
Respect is what it's all about 

It's something about us straight from the heart 
We belong together right from the start 
Destiny told us there is no doubt 
Respect is what it's all about 

It's something about us you can't explain 
The only thing we're here for is to entertain 
Destiny told us not to run away 
We will make it anyway
