Ready to trade spreadsheets for heartbeats? In Alles Was Zählt (“All That Counts”), German-Moroccan singer Namika turns everyday statistics into poetic confetti. She lists the numbers society loves to flaunt—81 years of life, 50-hour workweeks, 1.5 kids, €45 000 a year—then smiles only “13 minutes a day.” With each line, the singer pokes fun at our obsession with counting and measuring, while a smartwatch nags her to walk faster and drink more water. The result is a catchy reminder that life can feel like one gigantic Excel sheet… until you notice what is missing between the cells.
So what really counts? For Namika, it is the unquantifiable: the warmth of someone you love, the pulse of a single heart, the moments that refuse to fit into neat columns. Every time the day “runs past” her, she feels the absence of that special person and realizes that everything that matters can’t be counted. By the final chorus, the numbers crumble, leaving only emotion—proof that love, presence and meaning will always beat the math.
