The single, taken from his debut self-titled album Erik Grönwall, went straight to number one on the Swedish Single Charts on 18 December 2009 and stayed at that position for 5 weeks (18 and 25 December 2009 and 1, 8 and 15 January 2010) making it both the Swedish Christmas and the New Year number one.
