Per Gessle Talks P-UD! - The Craziest Thing

In February 2021, just before the Pop-up Dynamo album was completed I had a great song going with a really nice groove to it Like a sibling, two headphones on which are also worked on at the same time For some reason, I couldn't come up with a decent chorus Luckily, I bumped into an old demo made in the mid '80s It was a song written by an old friend of mine from Hamstad, Eddie Johnson I had written the lyrics to his song Eddie was a really good songwriter in those days Maybe he still is, I don't know Anyway, I hadn't heard that song in years, but I remembered it very well It really had a killer chorus, but it was never recorded or released So I texted Eddie to check if it was okay for me to use his chorus in my new song He loved the idea Then I played my demo for Clarence and Magnus So, instantly turned it into this '80s bonanza Almost like a Petcha Boys production with orchestra hits and everything It made me laugh, but I liked it It's pretty different for me to write a song like this The chorus is really wonderful, but I didn't write that Thanks, Eddie
