"Sheepdog" comes off Bring 'Em In, the 2002 debut from the Swedish band Mando Diao, and it pulled double duty: one of several singles the album spawned at home in Sweden, and one of only two, alongside "Paralyzed", picked to carry the record abroad when it got an international release in 2003. Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Norén wrote it, and Norén, one of the band's two singers, takes the lead vocal.
The band produced it with Ronald Bood, who also mixed it, and did the recording themselves, with Fredrik Wennerlund as executive producer. Critics warmed to the album once it reached the wider world.
