Obsession marked a stylistic shift for Blue System, incorporating more mature themes and a darker, more atmospheric synth-pop sound compared to previous efforts. The album produced several of the project's most enduring hits.
- The album reached number 4 on the German charts and remained a commercial success for Blue System.
- The lead single "Love Will Set You Free" was a notable departure from the project's typical upbeat fare, featuring a more melancholic tone.
- Bohlen produced and arranged all tracks on Obsession, co-writing most with long-time collaborator Joachim Vogel.
Blue System was the dance-pop project of German musician Dieter Bohlen, formed in 1987. The project followed Bohlen's massive success with Modern Talking and prior work as a songwriter and producer.
