Real Love (Sarah Connor song)
single by Sarah Connor
"Real Love" is a song by German singer Sarah Connor from her same-titled eighth studio album (2010). It was written by Alexander Geringas, Bernd Klimpel, Rike Boomgaarden, and Charlie Mason and produced by the former. The piano-led pop ballad was released by X-Cell Records as the album's second single on 7 December 2010. A breakaway from parent album Real Love which largely deals with Connor's separation from her husband Marc Terenzi, "Real Love" was inspired by her relationship with Florian Fischer.
The song debuted and peaked at number 54 on the German Singles Chart and fell out of the top 100 in its third week, becoming Connor's first single to miss the top 30. Visuals for "Real Love," filmed by Oliver Sommer in Schwielowsee, depict Connor visiting her grandfather's abandoned house. The song would remain the singer's final English language single until the release of "Ring Out the Bells" twelve years later, as she has been performing in her native language German in the time between.
Background
"Real Love" was by Alexander Geringas, Bernd Klimpel, Rike Boomgaarden, and Charlie Mason, while production was overseen by the former. Recorded late into the production of parent album Real Love, the song marked a departure for Connor, who up to that point had primarily recorded material telling of her separation from her husband Marc Terenzi. "Real Love" was largely inspired by her relationship with her manager, Florian Fischer, member of the 1990s pop group The Boyz.
