[4] In an interview before the release of Wir sind am Leben, Plate stated that it was important that the band made a positive album and looked forward.

For the song "Überdosis Glück", Rosenstolz wanted to use the sound of real horns and approached German reggae/dancehall band Seeed to provide this.

[1] A brief review in German regional newspaper Westdeutsche Zeitung described the sound of Wir sind am Leben as unmistakably Rosenstolz, with the album containing melancholic moments, huge anthems and tender ballads.

[4] Leonie Schwarzer of German women's magazine AVIVA-Berlin wrote that Rosenstolz had stayed true to themselves and conjured up another album full of deep emotions and poetic lyrics.

[9] The songs of Wir sind am Leben were written by Peter Plate, Ulf Leo Sommer, Daniel Faust and Scott Matthew as indicated.
