Ace Wilder will sing “Don’t Worry” in the first deltävling of Melodifestivalen 2016 in Gothenburg. The playful lyrics and text hammer home the point that we shouldn’t sweat the small stuff, nor should we be in a rush for everything to work out. The universe will sort it out in time: “Just when you think it can’t get any worse, dressed as a clown you show up drunk and high in church, I’m not a preacher but I’m tellin’ you, it’s gonna be ok, just hurry up and wait…”

Ace co-wrote the song with Joy Deb, Linnea Deb and Anton Hård af Segerstad — the team behind Måns Zelmerlöw’s song “Heroes”.

Ace Wilder finished second behind Sanna Nielsen at Melodifestivalen 2014 by just two points. “Busy Doin’ Nothin’” later topped the Swedish charts and got certificated triple platinum.

Don’t Worry lyrics – Ace Wilder

My coffee’s cold
my car’s too old
and I never ever get where I go

My money’s low
my wifi slow
and I’ve got a useless dumbass smartass phone

I lost my keys
I lost my keys

I kissed my boss
I kissed my boss
and as of now I think I’ve got no job

Can’t pay my rent
Can’t pay my rent

Don’t have a cent
don’t have a cent
I’m so connected but I’ve got no friends

Yeah

Just when you think it can’t get any worse
dressed as a clown you show up drunk and high
in church

I’m not a preacher but I’m tellin’ you
it’s gonna be ok
just hurry up and wait

Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright

Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright

It’s alright
now oh oh
don’t worry

It’s alright
now oh oh
don’t worry

My jeans too tight
my waist’s on strike
and I might get way too frisky tonight

I’m pretty funny
I’m pretty funny

But the jokes on me
but the jokes on me
cause no one ever takes me seriously

Yeah
Just when you think it can’t get any worse
dressed as a clown you show up drunk and high
in church

I’m not a preacher but I’m tellin’ you
it’s gonna be ok
just hurry up and wait

Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright

Dont’ worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright

It’s alright
now oh oh
don’t worry

It’s alright
now oh oh
don’t worry

I’m not a preacher but I’m tellin’ you
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah aaaah

I’m not a preacher but I’m tellin’ you
dont worry its ok
just hurry up and wait

It’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright

Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright
Don’t worry it’s alright

Don’t worry it’s alright
