Songwriters:

Tony Malm, Tess Merkel, Palle Hammarlund and Mats Tärnfors.

The artist about the song:

If I am to describe my song in a sentence, I say that no matter what happens in life, there is always joy, love and hope to fight for, and above all that life should be celebrated.

The song came about during a very depressing and heavy period in my life.

I felt weak and started writing, and it got so depressing.

Then I thought: 'The phase, now it's time to turn this into something positive!

Good Life, here I come '”.

The artist about the song:

At the end of the day was the song.
