The single is part of the German group's upcoming studio album
Rammstein release on May 17th. The track follows “Deutschland,” which received a powerful music video about Germany's bloody history.
The band released a teaser for the track a few days ago, as well as snippets of other songs from the album . "Radio" showcases the German group's more melodic and electronic side, while its music video features images reminiscent of 1960s recordings.

We weren't allowed to be a part of it.
To see, speak, or hear anything.
But every night for an hour or two,
I leave this world.
Every night a little happy,
my ear very close to the world's receiver.
Radio, my radio (my radio)
I let myself be sucked into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
Then I hear what I don't see
Silence in secret, wishing to travel
We were not allowed to be a part of it.
To see, speak, or disturb anything.
The whole body of the song was forbidden.
Foreign notes so dangerous.
But every night a little happy.
My ear very close to the receiver of the world.
Radio, my radio (my radio)
I let myself be sucked into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
Then I hear what I don't see
Silence in secret, wishing to travel
Every night I secretly climbed
onto the back of the music.
I put my ears to the wings,
quietly singing into my hands.
Every night and again I fly,
just far away with the music,
floating through all the rooms
, without borders, without fences.
Radio, radio
Radio, radio
Radio, my radio (my radio)
I let myself be sucked into the ether
My ears become eyes
Radio, my radio (my radio)
Then I hear what I don't see
Silence in secret, wishing to travel
