“We wanted to find that bittersweet emotion of actually making [it feel] like if you’re being left by somebody, not trying to act like you’re strong and ‘I’m gonna move on, and I’m too good for you,’ that kind of crap,” says producer Patrik Berger, who worked with Robyn for the original song. All of that emotion is brought out by the cover of Vitamin String Quartet.
