"Liebe ist" (English: "Love Is") is a song by German recording artist
Nena. It was co-written and produced along by
Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen for her 13th studio album, Willst du mit mir gehn (2005). Selected as the album's lead single, it served as the
theme song for the
Sat.1telenovelaVerliebt in Berlin. Upon its release in February 2005, "Liebe ist" topped the
German Singles Chart for two weeks, becoming Nena's second number-one hit, after 1983's "
99 Luftballons", and her first chart-topper as a solo artist. The
Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) awarded the song a gold
certification for shipping 150,000 units in Germany alone. A remix of "Liebe ist" for American audiences was considered but never surfaced.[2]
