 * We were an inexperienced set of girls who had to fly from the US to Sweden to record a song that was brand new to us and then get back on the plane again two hours later. I remember being in the recording studio being like "Man, I made a mistake. I doubt people would like this song as much as in, you know, Germany or somewhere." Then, it hit me. This would be a hit once we had the momentum to put out stuff back home. People would like this once they realized how much effort we were putting in.
