Boten Anna was released in 2006 by Swedish producer Basshunter, born Jonas Altberg, and became a major hit across Scandinavia and Europe. The Swedish lyrics tell a true-ish story about an IRC channel bot named Anna that Basshunter first thought was a real person. Its mix of dance production and internet slang made it an early viral music meme, shared on forums and video sites long before TikTok. An English version later reached wider audiences as Now You're Gone, but the original Swedish hook remains the version most often clipped and reused online.
