CHThe Swiss musician Florian Ast recounts the behind-the-scenes story of his iconic song «Sex», which became a cultural phenomenon in Switzerland. The track, released in 2000 as part of his album «Spitz», almost didn't make it onto the record due to initial resistance from his label. Ast explains that he came up with the idea while watching women on the street and spontaneously singing the chorus. His producer, David Bronner, was immediately enthusiastic about the song, but the label head initially refused to fund it, citing budget constraints. Ast negotiated a deal where he would record the song only if there was leftover money after production. Fortunately, there was enough funding, and the song went on to become a massive hit, spending 15 weeks in the charts and earning a platinum certification for the album.
