Writing and Recording
"Disappear" was written by Remee, Hanne Sørvaag, and Thomas Troelsen while production was handled by Remme and Troelsen. It was mixed by Will Simms and engineered by Savvas Iossifidis. Vocal editing was handled by Nicolaj Rasted. First drafts of a melody for "Disappear" were already in existence in 2005, with Troelsen, who also wrote the vocal melody, intensifying work on the track in January 2006; however, it took until November 5, 2007, the song was fully produced and provided with its final lyrics, who chronicle the aftermathes of an unforgettable love affair. The demo version of the song was recorded at the Delta Lab Recording Studios in Copenhagen by co-writer Hanne Sørvaag, who leaked her recording of "Disappear" on her MySpace account on March 10, 2008.
The demo recording was eventually presented to A&R manager Niklas Hafemann and the No Angels, who accepted "Disappear" as their competition song for the Deutschen Vorentscheid. The vocals for their version were eventually recorded at the Gutleutstudios in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on December 22, 2007. Nadja Benaissa has described the song as an earworm with international ambition: " an emotional, very sentimental . With music, that's raising your spirits and carries away." The song premiered during an official press conference on January 29, 2008; the same day a thirty-seconds clip of the song was previewed on the band's official fansite. A day later the song was officially serviced to European radio. On February 21, 2008, an edited version of "Disappear" premiered on the website of daily newspaper Bild-Zeitung, which was shortened to meet the three-minutes or less ESC conditions in length.

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or recording:
“There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
