Critical reception

Björn Solfors of Aftonbladet called it "A song with natural summer joy."[5]

Composition

The writer of the song Per Gessle said, "I found one of those voice recorders with a lot of old song ideas on it. I played the song to our producers, Clarence Öfwerman and Christoffer Lundquist, who liked it, so the day after I wrote the lyrics.[6] Micke Andersson, Gyllene Tider's drummer, said "It is what you play when you're along the coast road down in Halmstad with a cute girl next to you."[6]

gollark: If your brain loses oxygen input for something like 10 seconds, you become unconscious, and it fully shuts down given a few minutes or something like that.
gollark: Oxygen is needed to run aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is needed by lots of body stuff - muscles can run on anaerobic respiration for a bit, but not things like the brain.
gollark: I mean, you can go without oxygen input for a few minutes (I think because of stuff held in the lungs, though - stopping time would break absorption of that), but stuff does actually need it.
gollark: You can't just "not require oxygen".
gollark: The air doesn't move, so you're fixed in place (by air), but also can't breathe any.
