Marian Gold, Frank Mertens and Bernhard Lloyd was working on a song called "Maria". The time was when they wrote most of the lyrics in german, "Maria" was a "german" song.
Bernhard Lloyd liked the original way of Marian Gold´s vocal performance but Marian Gold wasn´t very satisfied with it.
Marian Gold was alone in the studio to experiment on the various harmonic structures of the song one day and turned them all upside down. The chorus-part became the verse, the verse became bridge and chorus.
On this way the song A Victory Of Love was born and the lyrics was in english after this.
