"Pendel" ({{langx|en|link=no|Pendulum}}) is a song by German recording artist Yvonne Catterfeld. It was written by Thomas Dörschel, Johannes Walter-Müller, and Alexander Freund and produced by Roland Spremberg for her sixth studio album Lieber so (2013). Built on a hand-clapped rhythm and pulsating beats, the uptempo song's instrumentation consists of soft percussion instruments and a piano. In "Pendel", Catterfeld talk about the changes that come from and may result in fortune, crises, and progress.{{cite web|url=http://www.universal-music.de/yvonne-catterfeld/news/detail/article:225242/neues-von-yvonne-catterfeld-pendel-wird-erste-single-aus-neuem-album-lieber-so|date=31 October 2013|work=Universal Music|language=German|title=Neues von Yvonne Catterfeld: Pendel wird die erste Single aus neuem Album|accessdate=15 November 2015}}
