Background
On 7 July 2023, German newspaper Die Zeit confirmed that the album had been completed for some time.[2] While the album was finished and in the hands of Universal Music, both Lindemann and the label agreed to suspend their collaboration for the album's release.[3] As a result, the eponymous lead single and the following singles were not released by the label.[4]
The album was self-released by Lindemann on 3 November 2023. The singer toured in support of the record with 24 shows in Europe from November to December 2023.[5]
In 2025, Lindemann re-released the album under the title of "Zunge 2025". The reissue includes the original album, along with nine additional tracks, three of which are previously unreleased, as well as several remixes.[6]
