"Feuer frei!" is the command to start shooting in German military language and also a well-known songtitle from the German band Rammstein. Feuer Frei can be seen as the band's most well known song as Rammstein made an appearance in the 2002 movie xXx performing Feuer frei! from the album Mutter. It literally means "fire free", but the closest equivalents in English would be "fire at will" or "open fire."

The video for this song was released in America on MTV, to promote the movie xXx. The music video consisted of the band playing on a fiery stage, with several clips from the action scenes of xXx. In this video, Rammstein's new, punkier look can be observed, mainly by singer Till Lindemann's mohawk haircut. Though the band may look a little different, the song is completely faithful to their sound, including their traditional heavy riffs, hardcore drum beats, and melodic keyboarding.

During live performances of this song, Richard, Paul and Till wear flamethrower-masks which shoot flames meters into the air.

The UK Feuer frei! single was released in three parts (2xCD, 1xDVD), in three different colours (Yellow-Green-Orange), each with different tracklistings.
