Translation from mein-schlagertreff.de:
Hein Simons wanted a song for the gray November that makes people smile. At his concerts he often experienced couples who went through thick and thin for decades and told him: "Without this person, without his big heart, I wouldn't have made it all". And it is precisely to these people that he dedicates this song.

Translation from schlagerprofis.de:
MITCH KELLER and Co wrote him the Summer Hit
according to the record company.
Whether it will really be a summer hit remains to be seen – but the fact is that HEIN SIMONS will still play a strong role in the German schlager business in 2022. In May, his new album with the apt title Neue Lieder
will be released, before the first single will be released: Wenn dein Herz tanzt
. What this is all about is described in the press release for the single.

Translation from jpc.de:
in 2017 Hein Simons caused a sensation by presenting his hits of yesterday as Heintje with himself in a duet. And again he conquered hit parades and topped charts. After the great success of Heintje und ich
, Hein simply wanted to make himself comfortable again. But sitting on laurels is simply not comfortable.
But then he remembered one of his last conversations with the most important woman in his life, the Mama
he sang about. She told him exactly 50 years after the world success of this song: Tjonge, je hebt nog zo'n mooie stem, maar je hebt nieuwe liedjes nodig
which means Boy, you still have such a beautiful voice, but you need new songs
.
And since big children should also listen to their mothers, there are now finally New Songs
from Hein Simons. And just as once Heintje was a kind of fresh cell cure
for his fatherly trailblazers Addy Kleijngeld and Ronny, Hein was also looking for an idea for a slightly different input. Young people who were not even born when Heintje brought inner cities to a standstill just by his presence.
The legend preceded him, but the wall of awe became a bridge of trust through Hein's grounding. The eye level became the ear level and in a songwriter camp
emerged New Songs
which gave the name to Hein Simons' 2022 album.

Beroemde Heintje voor het eerst in Australie
Reproduction of article from the Dutch Australian Weekly (Sydney, NSW : 1951 - 1993), dated 6 August 1982, page 3.
Published by Windmill Publishers.
SYDNEY, NSW - World-renowned singer 'Heintje' Simons, who captured the hearts of many thousands of people as a child with his songs, is currently in Australia performing with the well-known German singer Rainer Helbig in all capitals.
The young Heintje has grown into a tall, handsome young man, but he has not lost his friendly Limburg Dutch accent.
Heintje, now 26, started his singing career at the age of 11 and during the first 6 years of his performances he has acquired more than 40 gold and platinum records, including one in Australia and one in New Zealand.
In West Germany he has sold more records than The Beatles, Bing Crosby or Elvis Presley.
Heintje was born in Heerlen, where his parents had a cafe-restaurant. As a little boy, Heintje loved nothing more than to sing along at the juke-box in the restaurant all day long. He entered a local talent show, which marked the beginning of his singing career.
Heintje has never known a real broken voice. From an early age he was a little tenor
, because he always sang with the chest and not with the head voice, which a soprano usually does.
When he was 17 he took a one year break to transition from young boy to young man.
Due to technical tax reasons, the Simons family - father, mother and three children, of whom Heintje was the middle child - moved just across the border near Vaals to Belgium, where they have lived for the last 12 years.
Heintje's first major successes were in West Germany.
All that time Heintje has continued to sing, he has made new records, and has recently written songs himself, which he plans to do more in the future.
After his successes in West Germany and Belgium, those in the Netherlands followed.
Indonesia
From 11 to 17 years he won more than 40 gold gramophone records.
A great success was his tour through Indonesia, where he performed twice in front of a hall of 40,000 people in Jakarta, among other places, and where he was personally received at home by President Suharto.
Heintje's talents are not limited to singing. He also has some films to his credit, mainly German films.
This is his first time performing in Australia, an 11-man band will accompany him on his Australian tour, as well as renowned German singer Rainer Helbig, who previously conquered Australia with his acclaimed song My heart is at home in Australia
.
Hein is married to a German woman and has a 5-month-old son, Pascal.
For many Dutch people in Australia, Heintje's songs will be a heartwarming memory of the old days in the Netherlands
