One Last Time

"One Last Time" is a song by Swedish singer Agnes from her fourth studio album Veritas. It was released as the lead single from the album on May 28, 2012. The song leaked on to Spotify earlier in May but was quickly removed, and on May 22, 2012 Agnes officially confirmed its release on her Facebook fan page. The single became a massive success in Sweden, selling over 40,000 copies and being certified with platinum. It peaked at 1 at the official download chart and at 33 at the official chart. Background According to the Swedish tabloid Expressen, Agnes fourth album was to be released within the first six months of 2011, but has since been delayed for over a year. The first official single was "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" which premiered on August 5, 2011. This was later seen as a promotional single released in Sweden only, and would not serve as the lead single for her fourth studio album. In April 2012 Agnes revealed that she had now chosen which song from her forthcoming album that would be the lead single, though without revealing any details about it. Almost two months later, the single leaked on Spotify, but was later dispersed, just a few days after on May 22, 2012 Agnes officially confirmed the single and release date. In an interview with Sveriges Radio Agnes said that the inspiration for the song came from a nightmare that she had one night, where she had "fucked up everything" regarding her relationship. She has also stated that "This is the most emotional song I have ever written. When you write a song that means a lot to you, it becomes a part of yourself. Thats the case with "One Last Time." I hope I can touch people with it." Critical reception Camilla Gervide of Nyheter24.se writes about the song and questions Agnes' direction with her music. ""'...this is good but if it is Agnes, I do not know. What is Agnes, I wonder if she even knows it herself." She continues by saying that she really likes the song and that she would probably view it in a different way if this had been the first thing she had done, but instead she is confused. The British music blog "Theprophetblog" stated that they had underestimated Agnes as some generic pop singer who belongs in gay nightclubs and that she deserves more recognition.
