About Electric

"Electric" is a song by Swedish recording artist Robyn from her second studio album My Truth (1999). It was released as the album's lead single on 29 April 1999 by BMG Sweden. Robyn wrote the track in collaboration with its producers Ulf Lindström and Johan Ekhé. The single artwork features the singer wearing a feather headpiece designed by Sebastian Wahl. Musically, "Electric" is an electronic funk song, and the lyrics address unexpected life events that make one feel alive. "Electric" was hailed by music critics as a highlight on My Truth. It achieved commercial success in Sweden, with a peak position of number six on the Sverigetopplistan chart and a gold certification by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF). Though it was initially planned to be serviced internationally, "Electric" and its parent album were never released outside of Sweden due to a dispute between Robyn and her overseas label RCA Records.

Electric
It's electric
It's a natural high
Electric
We don't always know why
Electric
Keep your ego aside
Well it's electric
It's a thing you can't deny
Blood boils without fire
Day come day go
Without your desire
Disturbs the flow
When in denial
Night falls
Falls to take you higher
It's electric
It's a natural high
Electric
We don't always know why
Electric
Keep your ego aside
Well it's electric
It's the thing you can't deny
A hard question
Needs an easy answer
Recognize, accept no need to censor
The harder the fall
The higher the bounce
Smooth moves
Keeps your buoyancy
Yeah, keeps your balance
Ohh ah
It's electric
It's a natural high
Electric
We don't always know why
Electric
Keep your ego aside
Well it's electric
It's the thing you can't deny
Ohh
Electric
Electric (can't deny that it's so)
Electric (it's electric)
Electric (oooh yeah yeah yeah)
In the eyes of a child
And the love that moves
The sun and the stars above
That race your heart
Somebody dies
And you have to cry
When you think this is it
And then some other
Shit just happens
Yeah, it just happens, happens
That's when
It's electric
It's a natural high
Electric
We don't always know why
Electric
Keep your ego aside
Well it's electric
It's the thing you can't deny
It's electric
It's a natural high
Electric
We don't always know why
Electric
Keep your ego aside
Well it's electric
It's the thing you can't deny
