About Disappear

"Disappear" is a song recorded by all-female German pop group No Angels, taken from Destiny Reloaded (2008), the reissue of their fourth studio album Destiny (2007). It was written by Norwegian singer-songwriter Hanne Sørvaag along with Danish musicians Remee and Thomas Troelsen, the latter of which also handled production on the track. A mid-paced pop song that is built on a ticking clock sample, the song is influenced by elements of Europop and synthpop. Its instrumentation consists essentially of synthesizers and keyboards. Lyrically, it finds the protagonist thinking deeply over her relationship with her love interest from whom she parted; however, she still pines for him and feels self-conscious for doing so. A shortened version of the song served as Germany's entry for the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade, having earned tight 50.5% of the audience vote over solo singer Carolin Fortenbacher at the national pre-selection show, Grand Prix Vorentscheid, in March 2008. In the final show of the ESC, on 24 May 2008, the song finished 23rd (out of 25) in the final voting, having earned a total of fourteen points only. Released as a single on 29 February 2008 in German-speaking Europe, the song reached number 4 on the German Singles Chart, where it became the band's biggest-selling single since their reformation in fall 2006. "Disappear" also reached the top 30 of the Hungarian Airplay Chart, the top 40 of the Ö3 Austria Top 40 and peaked at number 21 on the composite Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart. A music video for the single, directed and produced by Daniel Lwowski, was filmed inside a castle in Potsdam in January 2008 and stars German actor Oliver Mommsen in a supporting role. It deptics the band as ghost-like entities, who are awakened when a foreigner visits heir home. Throughout the video, each of them tries to approach him in different ways. "Disappear" was performed on several television such as Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel, Unsere Besten and Music Idol. It was later featured on their compilation albums, Very Best of No Angels (2008).

On and on I've tried to move it alone 
(It won't stop) 
Tried to find the strength to turn it around 
(It won't stop) 
Everything's been off since you went away
And time just broke the promise to ease the pain

Cause I need you here 
And it's just not fair 
That it won't get better 
Why did you disappear? 
And we got nowhere 
But it won't stop there 
Though you're gone forever 
I can't make you disappear 

Crashing, breaking memories in my mind 
(It won't stop) 
Never ever close to getting it right 
(It won't stop) 
Best time of my life now it's washed away 
Still the stars they know how to spell your name 

Cause I need you here 
And it's just not fair 
That it won't get better 
Why did you disappear? 
And we got nowhere 
But it won't stop there 
Though you're gone forever 
I can't make you disappear 

Cause you got into my heart of stone 
And I don't do well here on my own 
Now the silence keeps me up at night 
And I can't get used to being all alone 

Cause I need you here (Ooo-ooh)
And it's just not fair (Ooo-ooh)
That it won't get better (Won't get better)
Why did you disappear? (Why did you disappear?)
And we got nowhere (We got nowhere)
But it won't stop there (No, it won't stop there)
Though you're gone forever (You're gone forever)
I can't make you disappear (No, no, no)
