In a recent interview, D'Agostino expressed his confusion at the misuse of his hit. Following the Nazi controversy on Sylt, parties continued with hateful slogans set to D'Agostino's song. The track rocketed up to number one on iTunes, the original version, but it was the misuse of it that left him disturbed and in shock. He mentioned in a conversation with the NZZ, "I have never viewed the videos, but what I've heard has really affected me. However, I can't control who sings what to my track." He goes on to say, "This makes me angry. I feel powerless."

Despite the chaos surrounding his song, D'Agostino struggles to see why it should be prohibited at the Oktoberfest. "If they ban it, people can still sing their hateful lyrics. They can sing it without my song. They can choose another song and another one. Music is one of the most beautiful gifts we have. If we start banning things, evil will defeat good. Instead of focusing on bans, authorities should examine the root cause."

Regarding the controversy, D'Agostino's song encapsulates the "unifying power of love, about togetherness." "I don't get it," he keeps repeating in the interview. "I don't get it." In the coming month of September, D'Agostino will perform at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. "I'll play the song everywhere, including Germany," he says in response to whether "L'amour toujours" is still on his playlist.

D'Agostino continues, "I don't understand why this song needs to be censored. It's a song about love."
