"From Paris to Berlin" is a song by Danish dance-pop group Infernal. It was released on 20 August 2004 as the third single from their third studio album, From Paris to Berlin.

It is known as their signature song as this was the first that charted in many countries throughout Europe and Australia in 2005 and 2006. It went to number one on the Danish Singles Chart, number two in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and number six in Norway. The single was the United Kingdom's sixth biggest selling single of 2006.[1] Shi Xin Hui, a female singer from Singapore, recorded a cover of this song. The cover was called "From Taipei to Beijing" and her debut album was released in the same name in November 2006.[2]

Ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the song had been re-recorded for fans in England, with lyrics celebrating the England national football team with the title "From London to Berlin". However, the song was withdrawn from radio airplay and TV following England's knockout from the World Cup. In 2007, a video of BBC Radio 1 DJ Colin Murray dancing to this song was published on the Radio 1 website.[3]

Chart performance

"From Paris to Berlin" has been the most popular Infernal single to date and found much of its success when re-released in April 2006. After being used to support the England football squad and a video of well-known disc jockey Colin Murray dancing to the song was broadcast, the song rocketed up the charts to number two and sold many copies, coming in at number 6 on the year-end list of 2006's best-selling singles in the UK.

Music video

The official music video for the song was heavily inspired by the film Tron.
