A song about the story of her origin and transformation from a Moroccan girl to a western cultural artist.
This song is very rough and danceable at the same time, even more than "statements" and "euphoria" respectively
It is presumably the title track of her next album. I loved the song and performance but she deleted it of YouTube and now it is nowhere to be found.
It's Eurovision season, and so I thought we should remember one of the most successful entries in Eurovision in the past decade: Loreen's winning song from the 2012 contest, Euphoria! Euphoria is instantly recognisable: it opens with a loud Inception noise horn and the chorus is something you could shout in any public place in Europe and people will sing along.
In fact, the song was so successful in Europe it topped charts in 18 countries and made the top 10 in 32 European countries (and Australia, considered European For Eurovision Purposes). It was #1 in Sweden for 6 consecutive weeks (it is certified 10 times platinum there) and made the top of the year-end chart in both Sweden and Finland.
It's no wonder Loreen won her year with the second largest amount of points in the contest's history: its verses are dreamy, invoking vivid imagery, and the chorus shouts out the song's title in a way that can only be described with the song's title: euphoric. You can dance to it, you can give an emotional performance. It very well walks the line between power-ballad and dance hit.
(This is why Sweden has the best Eurovision winners, rest of Europe take notes.)
