== Background and song details ==


==Background==
"Lucky" was offered to Lucky Twice a week after they were signed. However, the pop duo rejected the song calling it "Babyish" and insisted they wrote their own song. Europa Records rejected the song they had written and said that "Lucky" was suitable for their debut but they refused. Two months later, Lucky Twice chose "Hip Non Stop" as their debut but Europa refused and threatened to drop them if they didn't pick "Lucky". Lucky Twice finally gave in and made "Lucky" their debut.
The song was written by the trio of Jonas von der Burg, Anoo Bhagavan and Niclas von der Burg, and produced by Jonas.

"Lucky" received mixed reviews from around Europe. Finnish magazine MusicMatters said the song was "..irresistable", music website Panella said, "A fun, party anthem that everyone will love". However, "Lucky" received numerous negative reviews. Austrian newspaper Benhellt quoted, "Has the world gone mad? This must be song in the world, this was absolutely the worst choice Europa Records have ever done", German music website HallowPop quoted, "I bet in two years, the producers will say "what the hell have we done?" honestly this song is a bomb". Even their hometown Sweden has been harsh to the pop duo, Swedish celebrity magazine StarrHulst quoted, "This song has given the country a bad name" and Swedish music website Sikko quoted, "This song is scum, it is just awful. This song should have been for the Teletubbies or something, not a song".

The version used in the music video features vocals of former member Sofie Larsson, as it is the original version released in Spain before the album was re-recorded with Emelie Schytz for the international releases. Due to this, the video for the "I'm So Lucky Lucky" remix features Larsson with the voice of Schytz.
