"As I Lay Me Down" is a song recorded by Swedish singer Wiktoria, written by Justin Forrest, Jonas Wallin, and Lauren Dyson and produced by Didrik Franzen. [1] The song was released as a digital download in Sweden on 25 February 2017 and peaked at number 2 on the Swedish Singles Chart.
It took part in Melodifestivalen 2017, and qualified to the final from the fourth semi-final on 25 February 2017. Being the heavy favorite to win, it placed only sixth in the final; eight with the international juries and second with the Swedish public. Although not winning the contest, it eventually became the biggest hit out of the participating entries, beating the winner " I Can't Go On" and runner-up " Hold On". [2] When Swedish radio station Rix FM asked its listeners in late 2019 to rank the 100 best songs of the 2010s, the song ranked 59th; out of the Melodifestivalen entries on the list, only contest winners " Heroes" (5th) and " Euphoria" (15th) ranked higher, which titles "As I Lay Me Down" as the most successful Melodifestivalen entry of the decade not to win the actual competition.
