Contents

In the song itself, Bushido sings about a 14-year-old girl who was raped by her stepfather repeatedly, and eventually became impregnated by him. Forced to not only give birth to the baby in her own mother's basement, but also give it up almost immediately after; Janine, wrought with guilt, ends her own life by jumping from a bridge.

Music video

In the video, however, the plot revolves around an older Janine looking back on when she was raped as a teenager, impregnated and abandoning her infant at the base of a church. Plagued by these painful memories as she goes about her daily routines, Janine drowns herself in alcohol and drugs at a rave-type-setting; but in the end, only becomes so immersed in her shame that she has an emotional breakdown right in the middle of the dance floor. At the end of the video, Janine is seen contemplating suicide on a bridge lingering over a highway, but then she leaves.

[de] Janine (Lied)

Janine ist ein Lied des deutschen Rappers Bushido, das auf seinem Album Von der Skyline zum Bordstein zurück enthalten ist und am 9. Februar 2007 als dritte Single des Albums veröffentlicht wurde. Thematisch setzt sich das Lied mit sexuellem Missbrauch Minderjähriger durch Mitglieder des Elternhauses auseinander. Janine erreichte in Deutschland Platz 23 der deutschen Singlecharts. Erneute mediale Aufmerksamkeit erlangte das Lied im Jahr 2010 als prominentes Beispiel einer Reihe von Bushido-Liedern, welche dem Urteil des Landgericht Hamburg nach auf unerlaubt verwendeten Melodien der französischen Neoklassik-Band Dark Sanctuary beruhten und entsprechend Urheberrechtsverletzungen darstellten. Das Lied darf aus diesem Grund seitdem nicht mehr vertrieben werden.[1]
