}} "Taken by a Stranger" is a song by German singer Lena Meyer-Landrut that represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, earning 107 points and 10th place. It was written by Gus Seyffert, Nicole Morier and Monica Birkenes, and produced by Stefan Raab and Reinhard Schaub for Meyer-Landrut's second album ''Good News''. The song was selected through televoting during Germany's Eurovision pre-selection programme ''Unser Song für Deutschland'' (Our Song for Germany) on 18 February 2011. It was made available for digital download the following day. The maxi-single was released on 22 February 2011. == Production and song selection == "Taken by a Stranger" has been described as an electropop song.〔 It was written by American songwriters Gus Seyffert and Nicole Morier, and Norwegian songwriter Monica Birkenes. Seyffert has said the song was created when he played some of his ideas for Nicole Morier on the guitar. Both worked on a basic structure and the lyrics for a few days, before sending it to Monica Birkenes in London. The final production then took Seyffert several weeks. He has commented on the song's lyrics: "We decided on a story of a stranger, who seems a little threatening, or to whom the singer might become threatening. I think it is about expressing a fantasy to be together with a stranger". The song was one of approximately 500 titles submitted for consideration for ''Unser Song für Deutschland'' (Our Song for Germany), the television programme created to find Lena Meyer-Landrut's song for her attempted title defence at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. It was selected by Meyer-Landrut and Stefan Raab as one of twelve potential Eurovision songs. In the final of ''Unser Song für Deutschland'' it won over the ballad "Push Forward" with 79% of the televotes. The final version of the song was produced by Reinhard Schaub and Stefan Raab. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taken by a Stranger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
