SONG MEANING

What a whirlwind! "Gegenwind" literally means headwind, and Ami Warning uses that image to capture the nonstop gust of opinions people throw at us. In quick-fire lines she is told to

  • talk more, speak less
  • eat up, watch her figure
  • relax, work harder
  • sing in English, stick to German The contradictions pile up until you can almost feel the air pressure rising.

Yet the chorus sweeps in like a steady breeze: "Es gibt immer Gegenwind – wir bleiben wer wir sind" (There is always headwind, we stay who we are). With her warm, reggae-tinged groove Ami reminds us that criticism will always swirl around, but our identity is the anchor that keeps us standing firm. The song turns everyday nagging into a playful anthem of self-acceptance, inviting you to dance, smile, and let the headwind blow right past you.
