" Satellite " is a pop song written by American songwriter Julie Frost and Danish songwriter John Gordon . Frost told HitQuarters that the song is about " unconditional love " . The lyrics describe the thoughts of a woman in love ( " I got it bad for you " ) , who is frustrated at being ignored ( " I went everywhere for you / I even did my hair for you / I bought new underwear they 're blue / And I wore it just the other day . " ) and compares herself to a lonely traveller ( " Like a satellite I 'm in orbit all the way around you / And I would fall out into the night / Ca n't go a minute without your love . " ) , but on the other hand seems to draw a kind of masochistic pleasure from her pain . Gordon has said it is a " bubbly " song , " pretty easy and sweet with cheerful lyrics " and " three chords " . Frost , the song 's lyricist , explained , " It deals with all the crazy hidden things a girl does and feels when she is in love . A man can make her feel everything at once , joyful but also tormented and helpless . " A couple of years later Gordon 's publisher Iceberg Publishing decided to send the song to Valicon , a large German production company , and the producer André ‘ Brix ’ Buchmann , who then submitted for consideration to Universal Music Germany . The song was one of approximately 300 titles for the talent show '' Unser Star für Oslo '' ( Our Star for Oslo ) , a newly created national television programme to select the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 . " Satellite " was eventually chosen as one of four songs ( alongside " Bee " , " I Care for You " and " Love Me " ) to be performed in the final of '' Unser Star für Oslo '' on 12 March 2010 . A ballad version was sung by contestant Jennifer Braun . Through televoting , the audience chose " Satellite " to be Meyer-Landrut 's designated song in case she won the show . In a second round of voting , Meyer-Landrut with " Satellite " was picked as Germany 's entry for the 55th Eurovision Song Contest
