The lyrics to rollercoaster are written in German. The music and the text come from the joint work of Robin Haefs, Nico Santos, Konstantin Scherer, Vincent Stein and Wim Treuner. Musically, the song moves in the field of hit and pop music . The members of Madizin (under the pseudonym Silverjam ) can be heard as instrumentalists on the keyboard. The song is built on two stanzas, a bridge following the stanzas and a chorus between the stanzas and the bridge, as well as a repetitive one at the end of the song. The line “Feelings out of plan, like in a roller coaster” is accompanied by an auto-tune insert . In terms of content, the song as well as Just with you addresses a love relationship. It's about finally having found the partner you've always been looking for and the feeling of being connected to him. A partner who gives you support or tailwind. |

Reviews
- Wolfgang Wendland from the German punk band Die Kassierer rated the album Helene Fischer for Bild and came to the decision at Achterbahn that he would come up with such texts himself if he often went to a “suburban fair ”. The music is "one hundred percent" suitable for every "rusty chain carousel ".
- Jenni Zylka from Tagesspiegel came to the conclusion that roller coaster already had the situation of its performance in the title. It catapults you straight into the "caterpillar of the Neukölln May Days " or the Hamburg Cathedral , next to the young man to travel with and out of the boxes to tinny "Deppentechnobeats" the song.
- Patrick Kollmer from the German-language Schlager portal schlagerplanet.com described roller coaster as a happy " bubblegum pop hit", which could also have come from Vanessa Mai .
Awards
On January 13, 2018, roller coaster was awarded one of the best in the video hit of the year category.
