"Rette Mich" (English: Rescue Me) is the third single by German rock band Tokio Hotel, from their 2005 album Schrei. This single version of "Rette Mich" was re-recorded as lead singer Bill Kaulitz's voice began to deepen and was included in the Schrei - so laut du kannst release. An English version of the song, entitled "Rescue Me", was later recorded for their third studio album Scream.

Video

The video involves the band playing in what seems to be a boarded-up, abandoned room. The walls of the room start closing in on the second verse. The main storyline of the video however, is about lead singer Bill Kaulitz singing in a similar room, alone. As he gets up, he finds it hard to keep his balance - he keeps sliding around everywhere. He tries to grab hold of objects numerous times, but in the end gives up and slides; at this moment the rest of the band appears in the room.

    Straightforward pop-rock with catchy melodies and a well-calculated mix of stolen Metallica riffs and romantic ballad elements. Everything is played on the safe side, and the production is technically perfect.

    A winning combination of lyrics laced with "emo" angst, wrapped in a flamboyant pop-rock package. It's PG-rated but still edgy enough for younger fans. Songs range from catchy pop anthems to anti-suicide messages to appealing rock ballads.
