"Me & My Microphone"
Song

"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 samples the production of the lead single from Love CPR, "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[1], the song is a commercial failure.

The song will have an international release as the first international single from Love CPR, while becoming the third single in Scandinavia, following "Mikrofonkåt" and "Resuscitate Me."[2] September performed the song live on Skavlan.
