It was released in October 1993 by labels Blow Up and Intercord as the fourth single from his debut album, Love Is Not Sex (1993), and features vocals by American singer Kim Sanders.

In his review of the Love Is Not Sex album, Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "Impossible" "is another study in contrasts, as [Captain] Hollywood ponders the darkness of greed and power, amid a flurry of active, rave-flavored synth-beats.

[2] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update viewed it as a "girl wailed gruffy rapped cheesy typical German techno-pop bounder".

The music video for "Impossible" was directed by Apollon[15] and did for unknown reasons not feature Kim Sanders, but German singer Petra Spiegl.

The video was later made available on Altra Moda Music's official YouTube channel in 2017, having generated almost ten million views as of early 2024.
