written by American songwriter Julie Frost and Danish songwriter John Gordon. Frost told HitQuarters
that the songs 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/ Can'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."
The song was originally written in 2007 for Julie Frost's own album project. Frost came up with the idea for the song, sent a demo version to Gordon with just a guitar and rough vocal on it. Gordon then wrote on it too, changed a few things, wrote a middle eight, and then the pair got together to finish it off. According to Gordon, Julie Frost wrote all the lyrics.
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
