Jasmin expresses her special thanks to everybody who supported her and her musical endeavours over the past five years, fans and producers alike.
"After five exciting and wonderful years, it's now time to pursue new horizons.
Like everybody, I have changed and developed. And I'm sure my fans will understand".

Jasmin returned on the scene with a brand new single. A departure from the straight stomper style of earlier hits, but still faithful to the fun and carefree youth pop attitude, her new single Ist Deine Liebe Echt (”Is Your Love Real”) is the first one from the album Die Welt Gehört Dir (or The World Belongs To You). The groovy pop song comes in two different mixes, one from longtime Blümchen producer Paralyzer, the other from Jeopard, who already produced songs for German artists like U96 and Falco.

Blümchen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Auf einmal ein Gesicht
Unter tausenden Gesichtern
Auf einmal ein Gefühl
So irre intensiv
Und ich gehe durch die große Stadt
Werd' dich suchen an jedem Platz
Du entkommst mir nicht mein Schatz
Taxi, taxi, hallo bist du frei?
Ich sah ein Gesicht im Regen
Taxi, taxi, fahr' doch nicht vorbei
Du ich muß ihn wiederseh'n
Taxi, taxi, fahr' mich durch die Stadt
Ich verlor' ihn aus den Augen
Taxi, taxi, hallo bist du frei?
Du ich glaub', ich bin verliebt
Irgendwie, irgendwo
Werde ich ihn wiederfinden
Irgendwie, irgendwann
In dem großen Häusermeer
Und ich gehe durch die große Stadt
Die dich irgendwo verborgen hat
Werd' dich suchen an jedem Platz
Du entkommst mir nicht mein Schatz
Taxi, taxi, hallo bist du frei?
Ich sah ein Gesicht im Regen
Taxi, taxi, fahr' doch nicht vorbei
Du ich muß ihn wiederseh'n
Taxi, taxi, fahr' mich durch die Stadt
Ich verlor' ihn aus den Augen
Taxi, taxi, hallo bist du frei?
Du ich glaub', ich bin verliebt
Und ich gehe durch die große Stadt
Taxi, taxi
Taxi, taxi, hallo bist du frei?
Ich sah ein Gesicht im Regen
Taxi, taxi, fahr' doch nicht vorbei
Du ich muß ihn wiederseh'n
Taxi, taxi, fahr' mich durch die Stadt
Ich verlor' ihn aus den Augen
Taxi, taxi, hallo bist du frei?
Du ich glaub', ich bin verliebt
The lyrics to Blümchen's song "Taxi Taxi" are about a person who is searching for someone and won't stop until they find them. The song begins with the singer describing how they saw a face amongst many others, but this one felt intense and different. They then start walking around the city searching for this person, convinced that they won't be able to escape them. The chorus is a plea to the taxi driver, asking them if they are free to take them around the city to find that special person. The singer believes that they have fallen in love with this person and won't give up until they find them.
The song is about the search for love in a big city. The singer describes their intense feelings for someone they barely know, as they see them once and feel that they must find them again. This is a common theme in romantic pop songs, where the search for love is portrayed as something that must be pursued no matter what. The use of a taxi as a metaphor for the search is interesting, and it highlights the idea that love can be elusive and hard to catch. The song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus make it a classic example of German pop music.
