The differences between the songs are minor but noticeable. The main difference can be heard in the way the word "scream" is sung. The second version also sounds more edited and worked on.

"Scream" was released as a single in America on December 11, 2007 under the name "Scream America!". It is a two track limited edition single with "Ready, Set, Go!", an English version of their song Übers Ende der Welt, as the b-side.

Music video

The music video for "Schrei" takes place in a house packed with people, apparently having a party. The band is set up in the living room, and begins playing as lead singer Bill Kaulitz makes his way through the crowd. As the band is playing we see scenes of the party including footage of a girl throwing up in the toilet, people destroying the bathroom, and a couple making out while another girl runs her hand through the guy's hair. Near the end of the song Bill crowdsurfs and gets pulled onto the second floor, where he finishes the song. At the end of the video, the band is shown destroying all their equipment.

The music video for "Scream" is an exact replica of the video for the German-language original "Schrei" with the only exception of the band members being older.
