Publication and promotion

In addition to the CD release, a limited 12 "vinyl record and various promo CDs were released, all of which differ in the number and selection of their B-sides.
Due to the great demand for ring tones by Emanuela , the band agreed with the Jamba company that the piece would be made available as a ring tone. The contract prohibited Jamba from using the song for promotional purposes. The company did not adhere to it, however, and advertised in various television advertisements with the ringtone for Emanuela . Likewise, all monophonic and polyphonic ringtones that were sold were not approved by the band. She therefore published ringtones of the song for mobile phones on the first edition of Am Wasser built .

content
The lyrics to Emanuela are written entirely in German with the exception of a text passage and an exclamation. It contains the English line "What goes on?" ( Engl. "What's up?") And the exclamation "No!" (Engl. "No!"). The music and the text were written jointly by the three Fettes-Brot members Boris Lauterbach, Björn Warns and Martin Vandreier. Musically, the song moves in the realm of rap and pop music . The stanzas are rapped alternately by the three Fettes-Brot members, and they sing the chorus together. The song is about a girl all boys are in love with, but none can have. The text is about a crazy / unfulfilled and romantic love. The instruments were played by Björn Beton (bass), Daniel Kramer (accordion, harmonica and organ) and Sven Waje (Spanish guitar).
“What do you know about love?
You don't know anything about love!
Your feelings tricked you again.
You consider yourself dangerous,
but you do not see the danger.
This is the story of Emanuela.
Keep your hands off Emanuela!
Keep your hands off Emanuela!
All the girls, all the boys say No !,
you will no longer be happy about your life. "
In an interview, Lauterbach stated that he was inspired to Emanuela by a vacation in Brazil . According to Warns, the single had previously been tested at a party, with the result that the title initially caused a lot of confusion. He himself found the piece too bulky, since one had to make friends with it first.
