On "Wer sagt denn das?", Deichkind delivered a typically unvarnished, yet impeccably produced, collection of electro-hip-house bangers aimed squarely at the sensibilities of the complacent German middle class. The album’s title track, a sharp, synth-driven critique of performative outrage, became an unlikely club hit.
- "Wer sagt denn das?" debuted at number 2 on the German album charts.

Deichkind is a Hamburg-based collective that has been a constant in German hip-hop and electronic music since the late 1990s, known for their elaborate stage shows and often satirical lyrics. "Wer sagt denn das?" arrived as their seventh studio album, a period when the group had solidified its current lineup and continued to evolve its signature blend of electro-beats and socially critical commentary.
