"Cheri, Cheri Lady '98" is the fourth single from Modern Talking's seventh studio album, Back for Good, and also the extended single after the duo's reunion featuring Eric Singleton.
German rapper Capital Bra released a German-language version of the song with added rap verses in March 2019.
The cover was released following Dieter Bohlen's comments in German media that he did not like modern rappers for flaunting their wealth, saying, "everybody raps about his Maybach but at the end of the day they ride their bicycle home to their two-room flat" and that in 35 years nobody will remember Capital Bra's songs.
