Written by Wolff-Ekkehardt Stein and Wolfgang Jass, and produced by Jochen Peterson, "Seven Tears" was a major hit across Europe in the winter and spring of 1982. The song spent three weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, being only the second time a German act had topped the UK chart, six weeks after Kraftwerk had achieved that feat with "The Model".
