Background and composition

"Angst" was written by Loredana and German rapper Zuna, while being produced by English producer Rymez together with German producer Miksu.[1]

Lyrically, it mainly see Loredana settling up with the media who "solely await her next scandal" and name dropping daily newspaper publications, such as Bild Zeitung and Blick, who mostly picked up on her allegations of fraud in June 2019.[2][3] Few of the lyrics are also dedicated to her former husband and rapper Mozzik, whom she divorced in late 2019, and asks people to treat him with due respect.[4] Prior to its release, "Angst" was expected to be a diss track to the aforementioned rapper.[5] Later in the song, Zefi addresses rumours of her exploiting her daughter Hana as a "weapon".[6]

Reception

Disregarding the lyrics, the editors of Laut.de thought the song was "pretty damn solid" and viewed the dancehall-production as an appropriate platform for the rapper to "vent her rage".[7]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Angst", directed by Dominik Braz, was released to the official YouTube channel of Loredana on 6 March 2020, where it has since amassed a total of nine million views.[8] It prominently features shots of Loredana in a see-through box surrounded by paparazzi taking pictures of her which reflects her transparent public image. The video closes out with a heart-shaped picture of her ex-husband Mozzik kissing their daughter Hana.[9]
