The song received a [[Svensktoppen]] test on 9 February 2002<ref>[http://www.sr.se/p4/svetop/2002/020209sv.htm Svensktoppen - ''9 February 2002'']</ref> but failed to enter chart.<ref>[http://www.sr.se/p4/svetop/2002/020216sv.htm Svensktoppen - ''16 February 2002'']</ref>
The single version featured rewritten refrain lyrics, replacing "Vi ska vinna, vi ska ta dom, vi ska göra köttfärs av dom" ("we'll win, we'll get them, we'll make ground meat out of them") with "Vi ska vinna, vi ska ta dom, vi ska göra losers av dom" ("we'll win, we'll get them, we'll make losers out of them") following the [[September 11 attacks]] of 2001 in the United States. The lines "Jag har sagt upp mig från mitt jobb, så jag inte missar nå't när Ludmila åker bob" ("I've quit my job, so I don't miss anything when Ludmila rides the bobsliegh") were also changed, following the November 2001 [[Ludmila Engquist]] doping scandal.
