"Should've Gone Home" is a song by Swedish singer Måns Zelmerlöw. It was released on 7 August 2015 as the second single from Zelmerlöw's sixth studio album, Perfectly Damaged (2015), following the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 winning song "Heroes".[1] The song was written by Fredrik Sonefors, Martin Bjelke, and Micky Skeel.[2] The song has peaked at number 27 on the Swedish Singles Chart.[3]
Zelmerlöw also released a bilingual English/French version titled "Should've Gone Home (Je ne suis qu'un homme)" aimed at French-speaking markets. That single charted on SNEP, the official French Singles Chart.
Live performances[edit]
Zelmerlöw performed the song from the roof of a building next to the Liseberg crowd at the Lotta på Liseberg, creating both a feeling of "isolation" and intimacy.[4]
Music video[edit]
The music video, which was directed by Mikeadelica, was released on 16 September 2015 after being "unlocked" by the fans via streaming of the song online platforms. It features a backwards story of Zelmerlöw going to tell his girlfriend about his cheating.[5]
