Release history
Notes
- "Today" contains lyrics from "Discohopping" by Klubbheads.
- "Bigroom Blitz" interpolates elements from "Hadi Bakalim" by Sezen Aksu, as written by Onno Tunç, and includes Wiz Khalifa's rap sample from the song "Yoko" by Berner feat. Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown and Big K.R.I.T.. The T5C album includes re-recorded version of "Bigroom Blitz" where Wiz Khalifa's part is replaced with the one by the voice actor Cosmo Hickox due to copyright violation.
- "Chopstick (Mado Kara Mieru)" is Scooter's version of the 2009's song "Mado Kara Mieru" from the album Calling All Dawns by Christopher Tin.
- "Fuck Forever" contains a melody based on "Mammoth" by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike with Moguai.
- "Listen" contains samples from Avicii's remix of Lenny Kravitz's song "Superlove".
- "Can't Stop the Hardcore" samples the melody from Greek dance Sirtaki and the singing melody from "Eviva España" by Samantha.
- "T.O.O." stands for "The Only One". Scooter already have a song called The Only One therefore it has been shortened to T.O.O.*
