"Me & My Microphone" is a song by Swedish recording artist September released from her fourth studio album Love CPR. The song was written by several writers, including September and fellow Swedish rapper Petter. The song is the English version of "Mikrofonkåt." "Me & My Microphone" has become a modest success for September, reaching number forty-eight on the Belgium (Wallonia) chart. Compared to the original Swedish "Mikrofonkåt," which was number one on the Swedish singles chart for 11 weeks, the song is a commercial failure.

Contents

The song was released in the United States on April 12, 2011 as the first international single from Love CPR, while becoming the third single in Scandinavia, following "Mikrofonkåt" and "Resuscitate Me." September performed the song live on the Norwegian-Swedish television talk show Skavlan on January 14, 2011.

Composition

"Me & My Microphone" was written by Thomas Rusiak, Niklas Bergwall, rapper Petter, Daniel Alexander, and September, with production credits to Bergwall. The song is an English adaption of "Mikrofonkåt."

Critical reception

Scandipop gave the song a positive review, praising the bass and lyrics, while calling the song "pop genius." This Must Be Pop listed the track as their no.1 single of November to coincide with its UK release.

Music video

According to Stephanie K., A&R of September's US label Robbins Entertainment, a music video for the song has been planned. In the United Kingdom, September has recently departed from her record label, Dance Nation to join her former label, All Around The World. September's first UK single, Satellites, was released through All Around The World in September 2006. Recently, All Around The World have confirmed that videos for "Me & My Microphone" and "Party In My Head" will be produced in order to promote their release in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2011.

Release and promotion

For the US release of the song, the Scandinavian remixes were used, along with "Mikrofonkåt."

September performed the song for the first time on the Scandinavian talk show Skavlan. Her performance on the show received positive reception from Scandipop, who called it "fierce."
