Originally included on the 1966 album Strangers in the Night, this piece began as a German song, for which Johnny Mercer rewrote the lyrics in English.

Topping Billboard’s Easy Listening chart, the song has been featured in films like Blade Runner 2049 and TV series such as Ozark, and has been covered by many artists, including Michael Bublé.
