About Sober

"Sober" is a song performed by Swedish pop singer and music producer Loreen. It was released as a digital download on 12 September 2011 in Sweden. The song has peaked to number 26 on the Swedish Singles Chart six months later due to her victory at Melodifestivalen 2012 with Euphoria. A remixed version of the song was included on Loreen's debut album Heal (2012). Album remix version received favorable reviews. Scandipop.co.uk claimed that the singles (including this song) don't ever "dip below being a 9. 5 out of 10 moment." Higher Plain Music wrote positively claiming that it "returns to the catchy low-key whispery verse / vocal display chorus over earlier tracks" but that is more stop/start to make big distinctions" comparing to other songs in album. EscXtra praised the production : "this mix has given added strength to this track (...) so it would fit with the whole album." However the same critic criticized the vocal editing: "the effect of her voice delivering the lyrics is a little compromised compared to how it used to sound. I would have liked to have had the original cut of “Sober” as a bonus track at the end."

Where we go, I don't care, no
It's right now and we're right here, oh
Under the streetlights standing face to face
I'm losing sense of time and space
Don't wanna move, why can't I stay?
'Cause the chemistry is off the chain
I'm locked in a box, only you and me
Wish I could throw away the key

I know this moment will be over
Tomorrow comes when we are sober
Will we feel the same or let it be?
Will you be there?
The night is almost getting over
And I don't want us to turn colder
I want to wake up with you next to me
Will you be there?

On our way, I can't believe
That I'm kissing you, you're touching me, yeah
I can't imagine to be somewhere else
I'm all in with no regrets
So, so here we are but still I can't let go
Of the thought of losing you, no
I wonder if we're gonna stay this way
Will you remember what you promised me, oh?

I know this moment will be over
Tomorrow comes when we are sober
Will we feel the same or let it be?
Will you be there?
The night is almost getting over
And I don't want us to turn colder.
I want to wake up with you next to me
Will you be there?

The night is almost getting over
And I don't want us to turn colder
(I want to wake up with) you next to me 
(Will you be there?) will you be there?
(I know this moment will be over)you be there?
(Tomorrow comes when we are sober)
Will we feel the same or let it be?
Will you?

The night is almost getting over
And I don't want us to turn colder
I want to wake up with you next to me
Will you be there?
