"To the Moon and Back" is a song by Fever Ray, an alias of Swedish musician Karin Dreijer. It was released on 20 October 2017 through Rabid Records as the lead single from their second studio album, Plunge (2017).
Composition
"To the Moon and Back" is a synth-pop and electropop song,[4] with The A.V. Club noting that it is "way lighter than anything on her first album, landing closer to the chirping synth-pop of The Knife's Deep Cuts era than her self-titled debut's dark, frigid sound."[5] Similarly, Pitchfork said the song is "lighter and flirtier than anything we've heard from Fever Ray before," while later comparing it to the electronic musician Jlin.[6] Stereogum called it "a dark but surprisingly accessible synthpop song."[7] The track was written by Dreijer, with production being handled by them in collaboration with Peder Mannerfelt and Johannes Berglund.[8]
