"Jag och min far" is a song written and recorded by Olle Ljungström, and released as a single in 1997[1] as well as on his 1998 studio album Det stora kalaset.[2] A music video was also directed.
Lyrically, it deals with memories from a son and his father, who has died, exchanging knowledge within different topics. The song is not autobiographical in a literal sense; Ljungström's father was alive at the time, although the two had been out of touch for several years.[3][4]
In 2008, it was recorded by Love Olzon on the tribute album Andra sjunger Olle Ljungström[5] and by Pernilla Andersson on the album Gör dig till hund.[6]
In 2012, Magnus Uggla performed the song in the third season of Så mycket bättre. His recording became a Svensktoppen hit, subsequently charting from 23 December 2012[7] until 17 January 2016,[8] spending a total of 161 weeks on the chart.[9] It also peaked at number two on the Swedish Singles Chart.
