She returned, though, in 2003, with the single "Leb Deinen Traum" under her real name, Jasmin Wagner.

Her music is widely known as one of the best and most respected eurodance singers of the 1990s–2000s.^{citation needed} Her songs vary from around 50 BPM (beats per minute) to about 190 BPM and they range from many genres of music – Slow, Dance, Trance, Happy Hardcore, Pop, and Eurodance.
