The song was tested for Svensktoppen, where it stayed for seven weeks during the period 17 September–29 October 1994, peaking at third position.[1]

The song lyrics depict a male I-person together with some other people at a beach during a party in Tylösand, where the I-person searches for romance with a girl. Suddenly, a troubadour appears with the guitar and the harmonica, and begins to sing and play until the I-person walks home. Lyrically, the song mentions several songs, artists and music groups.

Lyrically, the song is one of those Uggla are the most pleased with. The Nanana-refrain was written so you could also sing the Simon & Garfunkel song The Boxer, a song popular among street musicians. According to Uggla, the idea for the song came when Hans Gardemar – a keyboard player he got to know during the Povel Ramel revue and who used to bring a melodica, to events like Uggla's birthday, appeared with his brother, who used to play the violin.[2] The song is often played during Uggla concerts and has become popular as a sing-along song.

In the third season of the Swedish show Så mycket bättre, Uggla sang the song together with Olle Ljungström.[3]
