The first promotional video for the single was released on-line on 16 September 2009 at the Gauntlet. The video also confirmed the new album title. "Pussy" was Rammstein's first number one single in Germany. The song was also remixed by Scooter, a fellow German artist and the remix later appeared on "Ich tu dir weh" single.

Censorship Issues
Due to its explicit content, both the song and its music video have faced censorship issues. In particular, the album "Liebe ist für alle da" was initially indexed by the German Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons, which limited its sale and display.
