"Secret Land" is a 1988 pop song by German singer Sandra. It was written by Uwe Gronau, Hubert Kemmler, Michael Cretu, Mats Björklund, Susanne Müller-Pi, Klaus Hirschburger and Michael Höing, and produced by Cretu. It is an adaptation of the 1987 Kemmler-produced song "Trenchcoat Man" recorded by the short-lived German band Fabrique, the members of which were Gronau and Höing.
"Secret Land" was released in September 1988[1] as the second single preceding Sandra's third studio album, Into a Secret Land. The song charted in the top 10 in Germany and Switzerland, and reached the top 20 in a number of other European countries. It was also a no. 11 and no. 13 airplay hit in Germany and Austria, respectively.[2][3] It also charted on the pan-European airplay chart at no. 43 and no. 24 on the sales chart.[4]
In 1999, a remix of the song was released on Sandra's compilation My Favourites. It was released as a single to promote the album, but only met with minor success in Germany. The track was remixed again for her 2006 compilation Reflections.
