"Sonne" (German for "Sun") is a song by the German Tanz-Metall group Rammstein. According to Till Lindemann, the song was originally written as an entrance song for the boxer Vitali Klitschko, which was also the working title of the song. [1]. The song is very powerful and heavy. Many artists (such as Rob Zombie) are uncertain how the band created such a heavy guitar sound.^{[citation needed]}

Instead, the video features the band as dwarves working for a gold dust-addicted Snow-White. Apparently, this came about while several of the band members were watching the old Disney film, Snow White, and had Sonne playing in the background, giving them the idea for the video. Also (as told by Paul in the Making Of Sonne video) the video came out of a video Olliver (bassist) did mixing Sonne song and parts of Snow White movie with his computer. The band supposedly went through nearly 200 different ideas for the video before choosing the Snow White theme. One of the other ideas was a video about the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Lady Snow-White (German "Schneewittchen") is played by the Russian soap actress Joulia Stepanova.

Together with the video, the lyrics suggest that the song is about cocaine addiction.^{[citation needed]}
