Prompted by the success of 99 Luftballons (1984), which included English-language versions of songs from the band's first two albums, Nena recreated Feuer und Flamme in English as It's All in the Game (1985), with lyrics by Canadian singer Lisa Dalbello. The experiment failed commercially and was not repeated with the band's next album. Gabriele Kerner recorded a new bilingual German-English version of "Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime" with Kim Wilde in 2002. The duet became a big hit in many European countries, including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
The fifth and final single from the album was "Du kennst die Liebe nicht", however, for the single release, the song was completely re-recorded. The single version was restructured and features different vocals as well as a different instrumental that just sporadically borrows motifs from the album version. It was later included on the compilation Nena die Band (1991).
