"Hello and Welcome" is a song created by the musical project, Enigma, released on March 10, 2006 (see 2006 in music).

The vocals in the song is sung by Andru Donalds, who also lent his voice in the fourth and fifth Enigma albums. It is unclear if the single will be a standalone single like "Turn Around" or will the song be included for the next Enigma album, estimated to be released at the end of 2006. The song will also be the walk-in music for the German boxer, Felix Sturm.

According to information provided by Crocodile Music Management, the single was originally schduled to be released first in October but the date was moved to November 25, a day before Sturm's fight with Maselino Masoe for the WBA Championship title. But due to an injury that Sturm picked up just weeks before the fight, the single's release date was pushed further back until March 10, 2006, just a day before Sturm's rescheduled match.

On November 7, 2005, the video to the song was first released for public viewing by Virgin Germany through the German edition of LAUNCHcast. The video features Sturm in training and previous battles with his opponents in the ring. However two days later, Virgin Germany announced that the single will be postponed to a later date and all information about the single, including the music video, were taken off from their websites.

On the release day of the single, the official Enigma website was updated and finally the video was made available streaming through Windows Media Player and Real Player.
