"'Jag borde frsts vetat bttre'" ("I should of course have known better") is a single by Swedish pop group Gyllene Tider. Written by the band's lead singer Per Gessle, it was released on February 2, 2005, as the third and final single from 'Finn 5 fel!', which was the best selling album in Sweden during 2004. The song peaked at number 23 on the Swedish singles chart, becoming the fourteenth single by the band to chart in their home country and became a new entry at number ten on the Svensktoppen (Sveriges Radio chart) before peaking at number seven a week later. ([http://195.178.191.81/history/2005-02-27.html direct link to chart] ) The release of the single also saw the album re-enter the charts.
Critical reception
Anders Nunstedt from 'Expressen' called it a "ballad that would sit well on 'Mazarin'." (Per Gessle's solo album). While Bjrn Solfors of 'Aftonbladet' named it a "ballad in the spirit of 'Tycker om nr du tar p mej'." The song was dubbed a "Spector scented ballad" by David Stark from the 'Ystads Allehanda' newspaper and in another review of the album by 'Svenska Dagbladet', Stefan Malmqvist said "In the song, you can even here a little echo of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe".
Composition
The writer of the song Per Gessle said, "This is a sad song, it is about a guy who still has hope." Anders Herrlin, Gyllene Tider's bass player, said it was 'Finn 5 fel!'s "only real ballad, with strings and everything."
