Discover the story of the song > What They Call Us – Fever Ray

The song is about the protagonist apologizing for something she did and telling her partner that she is pregnant, referring to the child as a 'cinnamon bun'. She talks about how sometimes she feels light and happy, but other times it's hard for her to speak up. She asks her partner for comfort and support, acknowledging that she may be broken and needs care. The chorus repeats the line 'did you hear what they call us' as if the protagonist and her partner are facing some kind of criticism or discrimination, but she reassures him that she has a flexible plan to deal with it.
