Raab had previously written and composed Guildo Horn's "Guildo hat euch lieb!" in the 1998 contest, and "Wadde hadde dudde da?" is in a similar vein. The song opens with a monologue delivered in English and German in which Raab is described as "the sensational super sack of German television." Another voice explains in German that Raab had gone to America and promised "If I make it there"/"I'm never coming back to Germany again".
