Campino has stated that the reason behind this song is that he had a line like "Walk on with hope in your heart" in his head and it didn't seem weird in English and what he wanted was to create something similar.

An English version, titled "Stand Up", was recorded for the soundtrack of Land of Plenty.

Music video

The music video was directed by Olaf Heine.

The video is black-and-white and shows the band performing the song, which is interspersed with clips of depressed people, who start to smile as the song is nearing the end.
