Hellström said the song was created when he tried to develop the musical ideas from the song "Hela himlen svart" from his previous album, .[2] Song lyrics are about a youth friend of him who suffered from schizophrenia, but the opening words "Det kallas himlen ..." ("It's called heaven")... has led to people believing the song is dedicated to a deceased person.[2]
