About Hang With Me

"Hang with Me" is a song by Swedish recording artist Robyn, taken from her sixth studio album, Body Talk Pt. 2 (2010). It was released as the album's lead single via digital download on 16 August 2010, in Sweden, and one day later in the United States. An acoustic version of the song had previously been included on Body Talk Pt. 1, in June 2010. The song was written and produced by Klas Åhlund, who wrote it for Swedish singer Paola Bruna who originally recorded it in 2002. Åhlund re-wrote it, added a chorus and made it more uptempo for Robyn's version. The electropop song carries a club beat, with synth arpeggios and energetic bass. Lyrically, it speaks of falling in love and being scared, and trust in a relationship. The song was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who compared it to her previous singles "With Every Heartbeat" and "Dancing on My Own". The single reached number two on the Sverigetopplistan chart, becoming Robyn's eighth top ten hit in her native country. It also reached the top ten on the Norwegian chart, and the Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the US. The accompanying music video was directed by Max Vitali when Robyn was on tour in the United Kingdom. The clip shows scenes from concerts, her tour bus, in-store appearances and Robyn's sightseeing in London. The concept behind the video was Robyn wanting to make a simple video to show all the touring she had done in 2010. Robyn performed the acoustic version of the song on an episode of Gossip Girl, and included it on the set list for the Body Talk Tour (2010–11).

Will you tell me once again
How we're gonna be just friends?
If you're for real and not pretend
Then I guess you can hang with me

When my patience wearing thin
When I'm ready to give in
Will you pick me up again?
Then I guess you can hang with me

And if you do me right
I'm gonna do right by you
And if you keep it tight
I'm gonna confide in you
I know what's on your mind
There will be time for that too
If you hang with me

Just don't fall recklessly, heedlessly in love with me
'Cause it's gonna be
All heartbreak, blissfully painful insanity
If we agree
Oh, you can hang with me

When you see me drift astray
Out of touch and out of place
Will you tell me to my face?
Then I guess you can hang with me

And if you do me right
I'm gonna do right by you
And if you keep it tight
I'm gonna confide in you
I know what's on your mind
There will be time for that too
If you hang with me

Just don't fall recklessly, heedlessly in love with me
'Cause it's gonna be
All heartbreak, blissfully painful insanity
If we agree
You can hang with me

Will you tell me once again
How we're gonna be just friends?
If you're for real and not pretend
Then I guess you can hang with me

And if you do me right
I'm gonna do right by you
And if you keep it tight
I'm gonna confide in you
I know what's on your mind
There will be time for that too
If you hang with me

Just don't fall recklessly, heedlessly in love with me
'Cause it's gonna be
All heartbreak, blissfully painful insanity
If we agree
You can hang with me

Don't fall recklessly, heedlessly in love with me
'Cause it's gonna be
All heartbreak, blissfully painful insanity
If we agree
We can do whatever
If you hang with me

Don't fall recklessly, heedlessly in love with me
'Cause it's gonna be
All heartbreak, blissfully painful insanity
If we agree
You can hang with me
