Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about My Favourite Game. By Songfacts®.

In this song, written by Cardigans Nina Persson and Peter Svensson, a woman is distraught over the end of her relationship. Her "favorite game" is love, and she is losing.

The album is named after the PlayStation racing game Gran Turismo. In the game's sequel, Gran Turismo 2, this plays at the opening.

The music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund (Madonna's "Ray of Light," U2's "Beautiful Day," Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi"). It was filmed over a three-day shoot in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California. We see Cardigans vocalist Nina Persson drive a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible in the clip. She recalled to NME in a December 2013 interview: "It was amazing – the weather was really hot and the car was super-hot. I did try to drive it a couple of metres but that shoot was surrounded by crazy security and insurance matters, so mostly the car is sitting on a truck and I am pretend driving. When you see the whole car it's a stunt woman driving it."
