Once Falco was signed as a solo artist, he continued composing his own music and hired songwriter Robert Ponger. Falco brought his intended first single “Helden Von Heute” (1985) to manager Horst Bork, but received a lukewarm reception. Bork felt that the b-side, “Der Kommissar”, was much stronger. Falco was hesitant, since the track is a German-language song about drug consumption that combines rap verses with a sung chorus. Though beginning to break through in America, rap was still quite rare in Western Europe at the time. Bork insisted and the song became a number-one success in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan, while charting high in several other nations.
