During the summer of 2009, Scooter announced the release of their next studio album, "Under the Radar Over the Top". On 14 August 2009, Scooter released "J'adore Hardcore", the first single from "Under the Radar Over the Top". "J'adore Hardcore" was based on Planet Funk's "Chase the Sun" and The Pitcher's "I Just Can't Stop". On 30 July 2009, during the video shoot for "J'adore Hardcore", Baxxter was almost a victim of a car bomb attack in Majorca, Spain. Michael Simon reported that Baxxter was alright and it was a very near miss. For their next single, "Ti Sento", Scooter collaborated with Italian singer Antonella Ruggiero. "Ti Sento" which peaked at No.10 in Germany, was released the day "Under the Radar Over the Top" was released. During the first week of sales, "Under the Radar Over the Top" peaked at No.2 on the German album chart. It was confirmed on 3 November 2009 that "The Sound Above My Hair" would be the third single from the album. The video premiered on YouTube on 12 November. The single was released on 27 November.
