Be Mine! (Robyn song)


"Be Mine!" is a song by Swedish recording artist Robyn, written and composed by herself and producer Klas Åhlund for her self-titled fourth studio album. It was released as the album's lead single in Scandinavia in 2005 and released as the fourth single from the album across most European territories in 2008.
The track reached number three on the Swedish Singles Chart, and scored some success in the rest of Scandinavia, peaking within the top twenty in Finland, Norway and the United Kingdom. Released to great critical success, the song was ranked number twenty-one on Pitchfork Media's list of Top 50 Singles of 2005 and number fourth on a same-titled list by Stylus Magazine. Remixes of "Be Mine!" were produced by Dusty Kid, Jori Hulkkonen, Meat Boys, Ocelot, Redroche and Roger Sanchez, with a studio live version being featured on Robyn's The Rakamonie EP. The song is performed with piano accompaniment in live acoustic versions by Robyn.
The song's chorus was sampled for Rye Rye's 2011 song "Never Will Be Mine", which also features Robyn.

Music videos

Two music videos were produced for the song. The original video of "Be Mine!", directed by Brad Kluck and released in 2005, shows several Robyns featured in different scenes. Most of the different Robyns self-evaluate their appearance in some way, by looking into mirrors.
A second music video, directed by Max Vitali, was filmed for the 2007 release. It switches between shots of Robyn in a white room and Robyn going to a bar with a friend at night. Fitting with the song's lyrics, Robyn sees her object of infatuation at the bar, who she envisions to be holding her. The new video for "Be Mine!" was first released on 27 November 2007 and is shown exclusively at Robyn's official website.
