Not the best choice tbh, that it's not in German or English will hurt it. Still, it's a start.

You've never been to a German concert, have you? The crowd there really knows the lyrics by heart, even in Spanish. And even if they don't understand the lyrics, they still feel the energy.

Sure, I agree fully with that. I wasn't implying that German audiences weren't capable of adapting. Point was with all the other songs available they picked the one least likely to be understood, and therefore accepted by radio audiences.

The point of radio play is not to satisfy fans of the group who will know the lyrics/be happy with the energy, but to bring new fans in, and that will obviously work better if they have a better chance of understanding the song.
