It was independently released as the album's lead single for digital download and streaming in various countries on 28 May 2021. An Albanian and German-language song, it is lyrically about the rapper's attempts elaborating their separation. "Rosenkrieg" received acclaim from music critics, several of whom praised the music and lyrics. The song was a commercial success, reaching number one in Germany, the top five in Austria and Switzerland, respectively, and number 13 in Albania. An accompanying music video, which was uploaded to Mozzik's YouTube channel on 28 May, contains reenacted scenes from the rapper's separation and comeback.
Background and composition
In 2019, Loredana and Mozzik announced their separation, approximately a year after the birth of their daughter Hana.[1] Prior to the release of "Rosenkrieg", a social media post by Loredana featuring her with a newborn child in her arms sparked rumors that the couple had reunited and married for a second time.[2][3] The latter themes were addressed during the song's Albanian and German-language lyrics, wherein, both attempt to elaborate the separation of their relationship and seek to find answers to the questions why it had come so far.[4][5] Loredana, Mozzik, Saru, Selmon, Takt and Vito wrote the song, with the production handled by Loredana and Mozzik alongside German producer Jumpa.[6] "Rosenkrieg" was independently released as the lead single from Loredana and Mozzik's first collaborative studio album No Rich Parents (2021) under exclusive license to Groove Attack in various countries on 28 May 2021.[7]
Reception and promotion
"Rosenkrieg" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Swiss website Lyrics Magazin found the song "perfectly" backed by a "theatrical beat", which with the use of a vocal sample and an acoustic guitar, brought out the emotions even more.[3] Mira Weingart from Red Bull described it as "emotional" and very "personal".[8] During Loredana's Red Bull Symphonic concert in November 2021, the single was presented in an orchestral version, which was labelled by Martin Seebacher, as a "banger".[9] "Rosenkrieg" attained commercial success in Albania and German-speaking Europe. The single topped the Official German Charts in June 2021, and also reached the top five in Austria and Switzerland, respectively.[10] In Albania, it debuted at number 20 on the Albanian Top 100 on 5 June 2021, before rising to its peak of number 13 on the chart the following week.[11][12]
An accompanying music video for "Rosenkrieg" was uploaded to Mozzik's official YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release on 28 May 2021.[13] The video was directed by Fati.Tv and Haris Dubica and produced by Luka Katic and Nancho of the Fati Media Group.[13][14] It features scenes of Loredana and Mozzik during their time together as a couple, including reenacted scenes from their separation and comeback.[15]
