"I Still Believe" is a song by all-female German pop band No Angels. It was written by Christoph Aßmann and Christian Geller and recorded by the group as the theme for the 30th RTL-Spendenmarathon, an annual fundraising event organized by German television channel RTL's Wir helfen Kindern foundation since 1996.[1] Production was overseen by Geller. Released by Stars by Edel as a single on 10 October 2025, "I Still Believe" will also be included on the band's seventh studio album It's Christmas (2025).

Background

In January 2021, after more than ten years without performing together, former No Angels members Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling and Jessica Wahls reunited as group to release a new version of their debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" to commemorate with the 2001 release of the song,[2] followed by 20, their first full-length album release since 2009, with plans to expand the anniversary celebrations.[3] Released to strong streaming numbers and a revived interest from the media and their fan base,[4] the album debuted at number one on the German Albums Chart, becoming No Angels' first chart topper in nearly two decades, and reached the top ten in Austria and Switzerland.[5] In June 2022, the band kicked off their Celebration Tour at the Parkbühne Wuhlheide. Continued in September 2022, the tour compromised ten concerts throughout Germany and concluded on 8 October 2022.[6][7] Initially uncertain about their future as a recording group,[8] the band assured they would keep performing together and in 2023, No Angels reunited for several festival concerts and one-off events.[8][9]

Recording

In November 2024, No Angels member Nadja Benaissa took part in the RTL-Spendenmarathon, a yearly fundraising event organized since 1996 by the German television network RTL through its Wir helfen Kindern foundation, serving as a volunteer on the donation hotline.[10] During her stint, she was approached with the idea of the band contributing to the following year's campaign.[10] According to Benaissa, she immediately knew that all members of No Angels would be eager to take part and just three months later, it was confirmed that the group would perform the official theme song.[10]

Music video

A music video for "I Still Believe" was filmed in the week of 11 August 2025 at Geller's Studio 61 in Kruft along with four additional visuals from the It's Christmas album.[11] Marcel Brell served as director.[12] The video premiered on October 10, 2025, at 10 a.m. CET.[12]
