"Solsken" ("Sunshine") is a single by Swedish pop group Gyllene Tider. Written by the band's lead singer Per Gessle, it was released on 29 September 2004 as the second single from Finn 5 fel!, which was the best-selling album in Sweden during 2004.[1] The single peaked at number 20 on the Swedish singles chart, becoming the thirteenth single by the band to chart in their home country and became a new entry at number five on the Svensktoppen (Sveriges Radio chart)[2] before peaking at number three a week later.[3]
Björn Solfors of Aftonbladet called it "A song with natural summer joy."[4]
The writer of the song Per Gessle said, "I found one of those voice recorders with a lot of old song ideas on it. I played the song to our producers, Clarence Öfwerman and Christoffer Lundquist, who liked it, so the day after I wrote the lyrics.[5] Micke Andersson, Gyllene Tider's drummer, said "It is what you play when you're along the coast road down in Halmstad with a cute girl next to you."[5]
