Looking for Freedom, with music by Jack White and text by Garry Cowton, came out as a single from David Hasselhoff in 1989.

It was #1 in the former West Germany for 8 weeks, and #1 for 4 weeks in Switzerland. The song is about a young man, born a rich man's son, who had many, but the young man thinks that he has no freedom. The freedom theme made the song a symbolic song for when the Berlin Wall was torn down in November 1989. The Song is a cover version of the German Schlager 'Auf der Straße nach Süden' performed in 1978 by Tony Marshall.

  • In 2006, German basketball player Dirk Nowitzki joked that he sings the song before free throws.
  • A Norwegian Telephone company Telenor launched their new subscription "Djuice Freedom" and in their commercial, David Hasselhoff was shown singing the song, and the voice over said: "David Hasselhoff is looking for freedom, Are you?"
