"Zick Zack" (German for "Snip Snip", or "Zig Zag") followed the title track as the second single from Zeit, Rammstein's eighth album, in April 2022, and it gave the German industrial metal band their fourth number-one single at home. The subject is the scalpel: cosmetic surgery and the mounting urge to go under the knife to hang on to youth and look acceptable with age. The writing credit is split six ways, and Olsen Involtini recorded, mixed and co-produced it with the band.
The video milks the joke: the band in stereotypical hair-metal costumes before a small crowd of elderly fans, bandaged showgirls as backstage beauticians, Christoph Schneider in a toupée, Paul Landers in dentures, Richard Kruspe in a silicone six-pack and Oliver Riedel inking a beard onto his own face.
