Background

The first single from Glas, Neben mir, was Chuba's first German-language release, following a series of English-language songs released from 2019 to 2021, and the first to be released under Jive Records. The fifth single from the album, Wildberry Lillet, was released in August 2022, and brought Chuba to mainstream success, being certified 3x Gold, 2x Platinum and Platinum in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, respectively.[1]

Eight of the eighteen tracks on Glas were pre-released, although "Molly Moon" and "Nicht allein", two singles released before the album, were not featured on it.

The release of Glas was announced in November 2022.[1]
