"Sorry Little Sarah" was Blue System's first single, the opening shot from the debut album Walking on a Rainbow, released in 1987 through Hanseatic with BMG handling distribution. Dieter Bohlen wrote it, arranged it and produced it, with Luis Rodríguez co-producing.
After Modern Talking, Bohlen has said, he spent a long while wondering what to do next, and he noticed that Germany had never had a samba hit; writing one became his challenge. So under the synth-pop gloss runs a heavy bossa nova lilt: this was his answer to that challenge.
