Songfacts®:

  • Here, Anna F. is attracted to someone's friend. She wants to get with him and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Asked by Rock Your Lyrics about the song's background, Anna said it's about "people who don't want to commit themselves to anything. neither to a common idea about love and life, nor to an emotional base. That's why the lyrics in the verses are totally weird, just a stream of consciousness."
  • Anna wrote the lyrics with LA songwriter Jimmy Harry (Pink's "Funhouse," Ryan Cabrera's "True"). They penned it in a drunken late-night Skype session.
  • Released as the lead single from Anna F.'s second album, King in the Mirror, "DNA" peaked at #15 in Austria and went Gold in Italy.
  • "DNA" won Song of the Year at the 2014 Amadeus Austrian Music Awards.
