"Warum?" (English: "Why?") is a 1997 single by an all-female German pop-rap group Tic Tac Toe. The song was written by Thorsten Börger and tells about a very close friend of the group members, Melanie, who had developed an addiction to drugs and died as a result of overdose.[1] "Warum?" was released as the lead single from their second album, Klappe die 2te and was met with major commercial success, reaching number one in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The single sold 700,000 copies in less than two months[2] and remains Tic Tac Toe's biggest hit.[3]
