Lyrics and composition

The Swedish lyrics of "Boten Anna" tell the story of a female Internet Relay Chat user who the vocalist believes is a bot but later finds out to be a beautiful woman, although she will always remain a bot in his eyes.^{[citation needed]} The song is based on an actual experience of Basshunter. At the beginning of 2006^[2] he created #basshunter.se channel in QuakeNet with the help of a fan.^[3] The fan created a bot with administrative capabilities; when this happened, Basshunter saw a new user with administrative capabilities named "Anna" enter the channel, and thought this was the bot.^[3] One day in March Basshunter returned home after playing at the club La Cocaracha in Halmstad. He and his friends played the computer game Counter-Strike while they were connected to the chat program mIRC.^[2] Basshunter typed a command into the command line to the bot to kick himself out of the channel.^[3] His drunk friend had taken control of the bot and kicked everyone out of the channel except for the two of them.^[2] Channel users started laughing. It turned out that Anna was the fan's girlfriend.^[3]

The artist stated that the song is easy to understand and sing, even when the person does not speak Swedish language.^[3] The Swedish word "bot" ("bot") was frequently mistaken for "boat" ("båt").^[4] The double meaning of the word "kanal" – which can refer to an IRC channel, as well as a water canal, added to the confusion.^{[citation needed]}

"Boten Anna" has a tempo of 140 beats per minute and is written in the key of A minor.^[5]

Release

Basshunter recorded "Boten Anna" in March 2006 in one night over the course of six hours.^[3] He made it available on his website for free download. The song has been downloaded 37,000 times in within twenty-four hours.^[6] With this success, Basshunter received several proposals from managers and music labels.^[7] Swedish DJ and party organizer Joakim Jarny contacted Basshunter via Internet Relay Chat and Jarny was soon overwhelmed by hundreds of requests from club owners in Sweden, Norway and Denmark who wanted Basshunter to perform at their clubs. Jarny contacted his friend Henrik Uhlmann at Extensive Music^[8] and in April 2006, Basshunter signed with Extensive Music^[9] and Warner Music Sweden.^[10] On 9 May 2006, "Boten Anna" was officially released as a single.^[11] By 8 June 2006, the song had been downloaded over one million times.^[6] In that year, Basshunter moved to Malmö, where the headquarters of Extensive Music are located.^[12] "Boten Anna" was included on Basshunter's second studio album LOL. Basshunter said that it is impossible to record a whole album in style of "Boten Anna", or it would take him a very long time, and he wanted to show that he is able to mix different styles. Basshunter said that he wanted to continue recording Swedish songs until he had six or seven songs in Swedish which satisfied him and then he wanted to translate them into English language.^[3]

Music video

Three days were allotted for the production of the music video for "Boten Anna".^[13] The music video to the song deliberately plays on double meanings.^{[citation needed]} It shows Basshunter riding a pedal boat in Malmö.^[14] Music video features text-based chat system for instant messaging mIRC.^[15]
