Falco said in a 1984 interview about this song that "you don't necessarily have to be from Rome to be a Junger Roemer, you can also become one in Vienna, for example. The title stands for a young, European, symbolic attitude to life. I realized some things when I had a bit of distance to Europe in 1983. I could also have sung about young Viennese, Berliners, Cologneers, Parisians, Londoners, it's more of an ideology. We are a party that didn't really live through 1968, we live in a time of political uncertainty and we know that we can only set up our game if we don't leave meritocracy behind. It's about a positive confrontation with the establishment, at the same time as Roman culture is equated with decline. Things have already gone so far down the ditch that we can't do anything about it. It's about a positive end-time feeling".
