Du Hast was released by German band Rammstein in 1997 as a single from their second album Sehnsucht, which helped bring their industrial metal sound to an international audience. The title plays on the similarity between du hast, meaning you have, and du hasst, meaning you hate, a twist reinforced by the wedding vow references later in the song. Its chant, riff and stark video made it one of the band's signature tracks, and short excerpts are still shared online for entrances, workouts and dramatic meme edits.

The opening of Rammstein's Du Hast, the 1997 industrial metal song built around the repeated du hast chant, pounding synths and heavy guitar riff.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable start of Du Hast, driven by Till Lindemann's deep, clipped delivery of du, du hast, du hast mich over a stomping electronic beat. The synths pulse in a mechanical rhythm before the guitars crash in, creating a tense call and response that feels both militaristic and theatrical. Even without knowing German, listeners hear the wordplay and the mounting aggression in the phrasing. The short excerpt works because it delivers the hook immediately, turning a simple repeated phrase into an ominous build-up that signals power, confrontation and dark humour.
