Hellström said the song was created when he tried to develop the musical ideas from the song "Hela himlen svart" from his previous album, Eld.[2] Song lyrics are about a youth friend of him who suffered from schizophrenia, but the opening words "Det kallas himlen ..." ("It's called heaven")... has led to people believing the song is dedicated to a deceased person.[2]

For the song, Hellstrand was given a Grammis award for "Song of the year 1993" and the song also won a Rockbjörnen award in the "Swedish song of the year 1993" category.[3]

The single peaked at eight position at the Swedish singles chart. At Dansbandskampen 2009, the song was performed by the Highlights.
