"Jag borde förstås vetat bättre" ("I should of course have known better") is a single by Swedish pop group Gyllene Tider. Written by the band's lead singer Per Gessle, it was released on February 2, 2005, as the third and final single from Finn 5 fel!, which was the best selling album in Sweden during 2004. [1] The song peaked at number 23 on the Swedish singles chart, becoming the fourteenth single by the band to chart in their home country [2] and became a new entry at number ten on the Svensktoppen ( Sveriges Radio chart) [3] before peaking at number seven a week later. [4] The release of the single also saw the album re-enter the charts. [5]
Critical reception
Anders Nunstedt from Expressen called it a " ballad that would sit well on Mazarin." [6] ( Per Gessle's solo album). While Björn Solfors of Aftonbladet named it a "ballad in the spirit of ' Tycker om när du tar på mej'." [7] The song was dubbed a " Spector scented ballad" by David Stark from the Ystads Allehanda newspaper [8] and in another review of the album by Svenska Dagbladet, Stefan Malmqvist said "In the song, you can even here a little echo of Sonny & Cher's " I Got You Babe". [9]
Composition
The writer of the song Per Gessle said, "This is a sad song, it is about a guy who still has hope." [10] Anders Herrlin, Gyllene Tider's bass player, said it was Finn 5 fel!'s "only real ballad, with strings and everything." [7]
