Amanda Bergman has today shared the video for new single ‘grasp’, her first new music of the year which follows up 2024’s Your Hand Forever Checking On My Fever for which Amanda won two Swedish GRAMMY awards, ‘Lyricist of the Year’ and ‘Singer/Songwriter of the Year’.

Speaking of the single Amanda says:
“It was written the day after Trump and Elon took over the White House. In fact, it’s probably a song about the quiet sorrow that comes from witnessing an almost surreal, Hunger Games-like present unfold on the global political stage. About coming to terms with the fact that the moral and political world order has shifted far beyond what one perceives as the boundaries of reason. The vertigo and sense of powerlessness that creates. In that sense, the song is a small but clear act of protest based on the idea that it’s not always good to fight fire with fire, but to transform that energy into something else.”

The track was written by Amanda and the music arranged by her and her partner Petter Winnberg. It was recorded almost entirely live at Atlantis Metronome – the old ABBA studio in Stockholm.
