About The Song

Modern Talking’s China In Her Eyes is more than just a catchy pop song; it’s a cultural and musical fusion that captured the zeitgeist of the late 90s. Released in 2000, the track marked a departure from the duo’s signature Europop sound, incorporating elements of electronic and world music.

The song’s title alone sparks curiosity. What does “China in her eyes” mean? Is it a metaphor for mystery, exoticism, or something deeper? The lyrics offer tantalizing clues. The singer is captivated by this “China woman,” drawn to an allure that transcends physical appearance.

The song’s music video further enhances this East-West fusion. It blends modern dance with traditional Chinese elements, creating a visually striking representation of the song’s theme. The combination of English and German lyrics adds to the song’s global appeal, reflecting the increasing interconnectedness of the world.

Beyond its exotic imagery, China In Her Eyes is a love song at its core. The singer’s adoration for his “China woman” is evident in every line. The song’s bridge, with its repeated refrain of “I believe, I believe, I believe, I’ll fly,” conveys a sense of hope and optimism, suggesting a deep connection and a desire for a lasting relationship.
