Discover the story of the song > Take On Me 1984 Version – A Ha

The song is about a guy who is trying to talk to a girl he likes. He doesn't know what to say to her, but he's going to say something anyway because he wants to find her. He tells her that he's different and not perfect, but he's willing to learn and make mistakes because life is okay. He wants her to know that it's better to take chances and not be safe all the time. He tells her that he will come for her love even if she tries to avoid him. He repeats that he will be gone in a day, but he wants her to take a chance on him and give him a chance.
