The song was Sweden's Eurovision Song Contest 2007 entry, and is also included in The Ark's fourth album Prayer for the Weekend, released in April 2007. The song, which won the contest after capturing both the popular vote and the jury's vote, was written by Ola Salo. The Ark participated in the Swedish Melodifestivalen 2007 with the song "The Worrying Kind". This was unfortunate timing, as the free concert was the kick off for the band's U.S. public for some controversial comments referring to the Septemattacks that were apparently part of the joking banter between songs as the band performed at the opening festivities for the new Swedish embassy in Washington, D.C. In October 2006, the band and Ola Salo were criticized by members of the U.S. For example, the 2002 single "Father of a Son" is about homosexuals' right to have children. Generally written in a collaborative effort by the band, the Ark's lyrics are sometimes controversial. He had at that point played live with the band for several years. In late 2006, Jens Andersson joined The Ark as an official member. Martin Axén officially joined the band in 1997, and Sylvester Schlegel in 1999.
The Ark is a Swedish glam rock band formed in 1991 by Ola Salo, Mikael Jepson, and Lasse "Leari" Ljungberg, when Ola Salo and Leari were only fourteen years old.
