“Get Some” by Lykke Li

"Get Some" was the first taste of Lykke Li's second album, Wounded Rhymes, out as the lead single in October 2010 ahead of the record's 2011 arrival, and it lands like a dare. Li wrote it with Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, who produced it and plays piano, bass and percussion; John Eriksson and Lars Skoglund split the drums, Anders Stenberg plays guitar, and Mariam Wallentin and Zhala sing backup.

Plenty of listeners heard it as a song about sex. Li told The Guardian in December 2010 that it was really about power, sparked by Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and its mind games. She took it to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan and Last Call with Carson Daly in March 2011, and it later turned up on 90210 and the soundtrack of the 2012 film The Vow.
