Final Song (song)

Final Song is a 2016 song by Danish electropop singer MØ. It is the second official single of her Sophomore studio album after the first single Kamikaze. Until now, Final Song is the most successful song by MØ, after Lean On and Cold Water.

About this song, MØ said:

"‘Final Song’ is about reconnecting with your inner strength. With your inner glow, passion, spirit animal, whatever – the force that keeps us going and doing what we love. I wrote it with MNEK and Noonie Bao – both of whom I adore – in Los Angeles earlier this year. We all need to feel empowered from within to be the best version of ourself, but it’s not always easy and that’s what inspired me to write these lyrics. When you’re united with your inner glow you can beat the fears and fly towards your dreams."

Background
This song was first announced via WhatsApp: on May 4, MØ posted a photo on Instagram with the description saying: "So I want to text you guys secret messages from time to time, just between us and not online." She published her phone number and wanted her fans to message her using WhatsApp. After that, she sent a diffusion message to her fans saying that she's going to release a new song called "Final Song". The song was later released through Sony Music Entertainment and premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 12 May 2016 at 7:00 PM BST at Annie Mac. It was released on YouTube the same day and on iTunes Store the following day.

Music video
The music video for the song directed by Tomas Whitmore was released to YouTube on 9 June 2016. The video was produced by Hugo Peers and shot in the California Desert National Conservation Area by DOP Niko Wiesnet.

For October 2, 2016, the video has reached +40,000,000 visits.

Curiously, when the song first came out, MØ uploaded an audio only video for the song and when the official music video was uploaded, she deleted or privated the audio only version.

Cover versions
British indie pop band Bastille covered "Final Song" on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, including parts of "The Final Countdown" by swedish band Europe and "7 Days" by english singer Craig David.
