<… Read Full Bio ↴MIA. (alternate spelling: Mia.) is a German rock/pop band from Berlin.
MIA. originally formed in 1997 when TV host Sarah Kuttner introduced schoolmates Mieze and Andy Ross to Robert Schütze and Ingo Puls. They took on Hannes Schulze as drummer and one year later the band, then called Me in Affairs signed a contract with independent music label R.O.T. - Respect or Tolerate. They soon abbreviated their band name to MIA., but now claim the letters do no longer stand just for Me in Affairs, but also for things like "Musik ist Alles" ("Music is everything") and that there is no such thing as a "correct" translation of their name.
In 1999 the band released its first single "Sugar My Skin" on major label BMG, but due to artistical differences the members soon asked to be released from that contract. In 2001 they followed up with their second single Factory City via Sony Music. At the same time Gunnar Spies replaced Hannes Schulze, who had left the group due to private reasons. Afterwards MIA. released their debut album Hieb und Stichfest, which saw moderate success in Germany.
2003 saw the band being heavily criticized for their song Was es ist, released on an EP of the same title. The lyrics featured romantic references to Germany and the colors of the German flag, topics that due to Germany's violent history, many political leftists are uncomfortable with. MIA. claim the song meant to provoke a discussion about Germany as a home and as a place to change and design. Furthermore, they consider themselves politically on the left.
In 2004 the band went on with its second album Stille Post. The longplayer spwaned three singles, including Hungriges Herz, which was chosen for the German pre-selection of the Eurovision Song Contest and reached #24 on the official Singles Chart. The album simultaneously peaked at #13 on the Album 100 and was eventually certified with gold.
Lately MIA. released their single Tanz Der Moleküle, which entered the German charts at #19 to become the band's most succesful single so far. Their third album Zirkus was released July 21, 2006. It reached #2 on the Album Top 100 and is the most successful album so far. 4 more singles were released
In 2008 MIA. released the first single of their new album Willkommen im Club, coming up September 5, 2008, Mein Freund, which reached #15 on the Single Top 100, becoming the new band's most succesful single.

Weil ich hier hingehör
Vom Kopf bis Fuß bin ich verliebt
Du bist mutig
Weil du mir treue schwörst
Zwischen all den schönen Souvenirs
Sprich mich an
Der dieses Lied zu unserem Hit macht
Brich den Beat
Mit Gefühl
Du bist so schön
Weil du lachst
Uhu uhu
Mein Herz tanzt
Uhu uhu
Und jedes Molekül bewegt sich
Glaubst du wie ich daran
Das alles gut sein kann
So lange wir zusammen sind
Brich das Eis
Mit dem Schritt

Halt mich fest

The song "Tanz der Moleküle" by MIA. is a catchy and upbeat track that expresses the feeling of being in love and having a great time together. The first verse conveys the idea that the singer feels like she belongs where she is with the person she's with. She expresses being head over heels in love with him and that he's brave for swearing loyalty to her amidst all the beautiful memories they create together. In the chorus, the singer encourages the person she's with to speak to her in the beat of the music and to dance to this song that is turning into their hit. She also urges him to break the beat with feeling and to hold her tight because it's beautiful when he laughs.
The second verse encourages the person she's with to break the ice with a bold move because taking a chance on them is worth it. She asks him to hold her tightly with passion because there's nothing better than seeing him smile. The chorus repeats twice, and towards the end, the singer uses scientific language and references positrons and molecules to illustrate how even the smallest parts of their universe react to their love, and that's why her heart dances.

I was visiting Germany from the US when this song came out- I heard it and bought the CD that week.
This song made my summer, I still dance to it.
@ici_marmotte
Nice story, someone from the US knowing and liking this song, I guess this is quite unique. To be honest, I absolutely disliked this band, their music and their performances back then, especially the frontwoman who called herself 'Mieze Katz' and has later been participating in the TV show "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (the German equivalent to "American Idol") as a judge. Maybe she has been broke at that time and just did it for the money, but calling herself an 'alternative' or even 'indie' artist some years before, haha. But beyond all that, this was the only Mia song I really liked for some reason. I even loved it at that time, beautiful electronic sounds and a pleasant melody.
