“Everything is fine, everything works when I want.
My life like a movie when I want to.
Had nothing, now get everything if I want.
Money comes, money goes when I want.

I'll shush, everyone quiet when I want.
I do (flick) everyone chill when I want.
Had nothing, now get everything if I want.
Buy a house for the family if I want. "

- Refrain, original excerpt

The lyrics to Wenn ich will are written in German . The music and the text were written and composed jointly by the production team Beatgees, Céline, Jan Platt and Peter Stanowsky. Musically, the song moves in the realm of hip-hop and rap . The tempo is 93 beats per minute . The key is D minor . In terms of content, the song describes Céline's career and the course, which is like "in the film". The first stanza deals with childhood in humble circumstances, the second with leaving school last year and the refrain with being musicians in public life.

The song is built on two verses, a chorus, a bridge and an outro . The song begins with the first verse, which is followed by a so-called "pre-chorus" before the actual chorus begins. The same process is repeated with the second verse, the first pre-chorus being different from the second. They both start with two different lines but end with the same two lines. After the second chorus, the song ends with the outro, which consists only of the repetitive line “If I want, yes yes. If I want, if I want, yes, yes. ”And a concluding“ There, there, there, there, there ”ends. In the lyrics, there are many anglicisms as "broke as fuck" ( English for, damn broke '), "Trailer Park" ( English for, trailer park') or "Fam" ( English acronym for 'family') again.
