It was originally intended to be an instrumental song, but Pär and Peter convinced me to write some vocal melodies for it and then Peter wrote some of his own for his second verse as a guest vocalist. I wrote the main theme for the song over a decade ago (.) and the rest is pretty much written a year before Carolus Rex was released. Joakim: This song is actually a mix of very old and very new when it comes to my style of composing.

When performed live in Germany, the band changes the chorus' lyrics to 'as we all drink united, Noch ein Bier' ('One more beer').

It's the band's first song to feature folk elements in their sound.

Peter recorded his verses when the band wasn't in the studio.

The initial idea was that the verses would be sung by one of the guitarists.

Peter Tägtgren wrote the lyrics to his verses.

The original idea was that it was supposed to be an instrumetal song, but Pär and Peter convinced Joakim to write vocal melodies for it.

The main theme of the song was composed by Joakim around the beginning of 2000s.
