Jet Set — The story
Released as a single in 1985, "Jet Set" captures the glamour and excess of the international jet-set lifestyle. With its pulsing bassline and Marian Gold's distinctive delivery, it's one of Alphaville's most energetic tracks.

The meaning
"Jet Set" is Alphaville's take on the glamorous lifestyle — international travel, nightlife, and the emptiness beneath the surface. It's both a celebration and a critique, wrapped in an irresistible synth arrangement.
