"Sången skall klinga" or "Sången ska klinga" is a song written by Lasse Holm and originally recorded by Wizex, with Kikki Danielsson on lead vocals for the 1979 album Some Girls & Trouble Boys.[1] The song depicts a woman who feels new-born when meeting someone new and following her.

The song became a major Svensktoppen hit, staying at the chart for ten weeks from 3 February through 6 April 1980, and after two second-places it topped the chart for the third week.[2] In 2008, the song became available on the Kikki Danielsson compilation album Kikkis bästa.

In 1980, the song was recorded by Ekelunds for the album Dansglädje 2,[3] and in 1983, Thorleifs recorded it for the album Saxgodingar 2.[4]

The song has been rewritten in Norwegian, with lyrics by Geir Hamnes as "Sangen skal klinge". With those lyrics, it was recorded by Bente Lind in 1981.[5]
