"Sorry, Little Sarah" is the first single from Blue System's debut album, Walking on a Rainbow. It was published in 1987 by Hanseatic M.V. and was distributed by BMG. The song was written, arranged and produced by Dieter Bohlen, and co-produced by Luis Rodríguez. This song has a strong bossa nova influence.
What Dieter Bohlen has said about this song, "After Modern Talking, I thought for a long time what I could do now, and we never had a Samba hit in Germany. So it was, for me, a big challenge to write a Samba title."{{cite web |author=PopGuru |url=https://simplypopmusic.com/sorry-little-sarah-blue-system/ |title=Sorry, Little Sarah Blue System |website=Simply Pop Music |date=21 July 2017 |access-date=21 May 2024 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801102412/https://simplypopmusic.com/sorry-little-sarah-blue-system/ |archive-date=1 August 2017}}
