The album is composed of tracks released on the band's two previous albums, Nena (1983) and ? (Fragezeichen) (1984),five of which are English-translated versions. "99 Red Balloons" ("99 Luftballons"),"Just a Dream" ("Nur geträumt"),"Kino","Leuchtturm" and "99 Luftballons" were taken from Nena (1983),while "? (Question Mark)" ("? (Fragezeichen)"),"Hangin' on You" ("Ich häng' an dir"),"Let Me Be Your Pirate" ("Lass mich dein Pirat sein"),"Das Land der Elefanten","Rette mich" and "Unerkannt durch's Märchenland" were taken from ? (Fragezeichen) (1984).
The lead single,"99 Luftballons",is the band's and lead singer Nena's most successful song to date. It reached number one in several countries worldwide, [2] but is considered a one-hit wonder [8] as other singles and albums performed poorly outside of Europe. "Just a Dream" reached number 70 on the UK Singles Chart. "Kino" was initially released on the album in German,but was translated into English titled as "Kino (At the Movies)". Like its predecessor,"? (Question Mark)",the single failed to chart. [2] [3] The song was later included as a bonus track on a re-release of the band's second English album It's All in the Game (1985). [9]
