Official Music Video
Hang with Me is the lead single off Robyn's 6th studio album Body Talk Pt. 2 (2010). Writer Klas Ahlund originally made it for the Swedish singer Paola Bruna in 2002, for Robyn he re-wrote it, added a chorus and made it more uptempo.
Robyn says:
Klaus wrote [the song] but it sounded very different. It's a song that he recorded with his ex-wife! He re-wrote it and I was bombarded by him with his old music. And out of that came a few songs. It was more like a ballad in the beginning. It's a sweet song. Beautiful and bitter sweet, It's about falling in love and being scared. I wanted to see if [the video] could be organic too, Like Twitter and my website. We decided to make something simple that gives the feeling of touring intensity. Max Vitali directed it and I wanted a video which connected back through the touring with I'm doing all year.
Acoustic version
Normally I'm a killer for acoustic and I always choose that version over the original. This one I'm split, probably because the acoustic version is so different. It's a ballad, and the upbeatness of the original is part of why I fell in love with the song.
