He’s the hairy armed heart-throb, who charmed Sweden at Melodifestivalen this year. Now Benjamin Ingrosso has his eyes on a bigger prize: Victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. He’ll sing “Dance You Off” in Lisbon.
Benjamin describes “Dance You Off” as a “minimalist club track”. Lyrically the song describes an encounter with an ex on the dancefloor. Initially interested, through the song Benjamin turns his back on the ex and dances off his feelings toward her. “Girl with anyone but you” indeed!
You can check out the full Dance You Off lyrics below.
“Dance You Off” — Benjamin Ingrosso (Sweden Eurovision 2018)
Dance You Off lyrics — Benjamin Ingrosso
I see that look in your eyes
but I ain’t feeling no pressure
Pressure
Feels like I’m stuck here in time
while I’ve been trying to forget ya
Forget ya
Just wanna da-da-dance you off
So don’t you da-da-dare wait up
Cause I just wanna feel the mood
Girl with anyone but you
And I might now
Yeah I might now
Just trying to have myself a time
So I just don’t care if you mind
Cause I just wanna feel the mood
Girl with anyone but you
And I might now
Yeah I might now
Treating you good we were gold
I dug you like you were treasure
So don’t act like I’m the cruel one
when I know you know better
And I, and I
Oh I used to think that you were worth the best in life
Cause I loved it, I loved it
Feels like I’m stuck here in time
while I’ve been trying to forget ya
Just wanna da-da-dance you off
So don’t you da-da-dare wait up
Cause I just wanna feel the mood
Girl with anyone but you
And I might now
Yeah I might now
Just trying to have myself a time
So I just don’t care if you mind
Cause I just wanna feel the mood
Girl with anyone but you
And I might now
yeah I might now
I’m just gonna dance you off the floor
I’m just gonna dance you off the floor
I used to think that you were worth my every night
Just wanna da-da-dance you off
So don’t you da-da-dare wait up
Cause I just wanna feel the mood
Girl with anyone but you
And I might now
Yeah I might now
Just trying to have myself a time
So I just don’t care if you mind
Cause I just wanna feel the mood
Girl with anyone but you
I might now
I might now
Sebastian Ingrosso gives his personal opinion and is funny about it. Not only that, but he is entitled to not having to like every song at the ESC. All of you cry babies need a serious reality check for hating on someone who at least has got the guts to come and make a video with some kind of personal opinion instead of vacant politically correct boring nonsense.
Finally got to see his reaction video. Boy – it’s not diggiloo, it’s casino where equality proclamates ‘stupid boyz’ whilst you already set up Katie on fire! Anyways he might face that person from Eye Cue couple times later in place, a worthy experience to get rid of immaturity.
The silliest reaction to hungarian song, I gagged while thinking is it really hard to step outside your comfort zone of radiothrown stuff? He could’ve been spokeperson for OGAE though.
He is and his pop is fine, yet he still needs to be vaccined from arrogance, so Katie won’t be burning and spitting on everyone else.
I agree with Davve. Anyone aware of the Ingrosso/Wahlgren clan and their TV show knows that they have a dry sense of humour. Benjamin obviously was instructed by Wiwibloggs to roast his competition. To call him rude is simply wrong and only a way to try to discredit a strong competitor. Most of you complaining probably comes from countries that usually send crap songs… Sweden sends great songs. Get over it. And stop being indeeed butthurt and rude people. That Benjamin will be a success in ESC is a given. That he would not qualify is a mentally retarded wishful… Read more »
Confident much? I would suggest you to bring tissues, if he doesn’t reach even top10? You were right, countries did took it Eurovision serious this year and send amazing songs. Benjamin is not that good singer and has enyoable song, but this gets lost, because others have better songs. Ofc Sweden is very clever at staging, they bring something that tooks away attention from a song and then you are left to think Sweden did amazing again. And also don’t forget you are once again sending young men / boy to guarantee teenagers endless calls for you guys. Pathetic!! I… Read more »
And here you can watch, how he praises his song Dance You Off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z97MXq_1dOY (at the end why does he say, that he doesn’t want to collaborate with her mother?? Her mother is such a GOOD singer IMO!)
I have just seen his reaction video to all Eurovision songs – he’s such a rude, arrogant douchebag
I bet if this was a representative of any other country no one would bat an eye. But nooo because it’s Sweden everyone loses their heads. Boo hoo!
I think I am throu whith Wiwibloggs and ESC
There are no end to this hate. IF he would come from an other country the critics wouldn’t be out of propotion. Sinse you hate Sweden, well ESC has lost one fan. This is not why I love ESC.
Nu har jag fått nog. Detta är helt oproportionerligt hat.
Don’t let them put you down!!! We are the heroes of our time!!!!
This is the ESC fandom. They are like this everywhere, not only here on Wiwi. I’m Italian, so you can imagine what a hell was last year. But it will pass, and they will find someone else to attack.
They attack. We survive. They go away.
<3
True as long as your first in the odds or have a long streak of being succesful in the odds you definitely will be hated by a large part of the fans. (For example netta)
ignore the haters, embrace the real fans
<3
It’s not Sweden’s fault, nobody hates Sweden per se! I can feel your pain, cheer up, mate!
I do. When they host the contest, they kept reminding us, how amazing they have been at Eurovision so far and how good they can host it.. yuck. They buy their way into final. This year… this performance would have been in semi-final 1, if it would been sent by other country, but because it is Sweden, then swedish guy put him to weaker semi and running order to 15 out of 18. I can guarantee, that in grand final he is going to perform at the end half of the show and before and after are put weaker songs,… Read more »
Yaa <3
Don’t let trolls win. Fight back. Every fandom and forum is like this, not just this one. These trolls don’t represent the true fans. It’s like those Avengers trolls attacking everyone who isn’t overtly positive about superheroes.Next week they find something else to fuss about.
Ge inte upp!
<3
The fans are pathetic. Just ignore them Malin
Ah, I see the Sweden-bashing is in full swing again… sigh!
‘Apology’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nR6vwLXKc4
Thanks! xD
No! This video is fake! This is the real one: https://youtu.be/NVdf7KrevF0
‘Somebody has been telling lies about me and I think IT IS YOU’.
This stuff was ahead of its time. It would play amazingly well nowadays.
Dance You Off is an OK song & fully deserves to qualify for the final. But, his voice annoys the hell out of me if I listen to this song more often than i should. To me, Dance You Off is like 3 or 4 levels lower than I Can’t Go On. Where “I Can’t Go On” was well thought of & fully in control, “Dance You Off” just feels lazy, self-indugent & automasturbatory. What really buggs me is that some people think “Dance You Off” is TOP5 material. Sorry, it isn’t. It shouldn’ t even finish in the TOP10.… Read more »
I think The jacket thing is a tribute to George Michael. Or Prince. One of those two
And the song is miles better than last year. Last year was soul less. This one is more organic. He deserves to be top 5 more than Robin B who frankly surprised every Swede by finishing there
Thanks for answering. I disagree with your assessment. To me, I Can’t Go On was perfect as a song, the staging was too over the top and yet very effective. But Robin Bengtsson didn’t come across as someone likeable. This year it’s the other way around: Benjamin is like your next door neighbour wishing he would become the next Michael Jackson, but the song is just shallow and pointless.
Different people, different tastes, different opinions.
The rude and inconsiderate neighbour with a shallow and pointless song
Haha, all publicity is good publicity. By constantly linking to the video and talking about him you have created more buzz around him than any publicist could ever create. So you have only yourselves to blame when he reaches top 5. So thank you!
Now if only general audience cared about Wiwibloggs or ESC..
Håller inte med. Tror han kommer må skit av att åka ner nu, skäms och är ångerfull. Kan påverka honom negativt. Särskillt om han blir varse denna extrema kampanjliknande mobb mot honom. För jäkligt.
Fast ingen bryr sig. Jurygrupperna bryr sig inte. Casual tittare som ser showen för första gången bry sig inte. De flesta kommer nog inte ens veta om det här. Vad trollen än här under säger är Eurovision knappast nåt en majoritet bryr sig om. Ännu mindre den här bloggen. Mobben består mest av rabiata fans som inte tål att nån kritiserar nåt. Forum funkar så.
Han mår säkert illa nu men när han väl åker ner är det glömt
Oh look, Benjamin doesn’t like the fanwank that is “Lost and Found” let’s start hating on him then! Lol you do realize that no matter what Sweden will be in Top 10, maybe even in Top 5 this year, while Macedonia most likely won’t even qualify to the Final. I don’t agree with what he said either, but seriously people get a grip.
And that just because it is SWEDEN. Pathetic.
Oh poor baby benjamin, all he had to do was not being f**** rude to others for 15 minutes, is that so hard to do? Or do you swedes see it as something normal? Do you feel naturally superior to other people? And you don’t even seem to understand what’s the point – it’s not that he didn’t like the songs, it’s his arrogance and contempt for others.. Sooooo rude
Boy, Swedes sure know how to generate buzz. Don’t they? First they do a “polemic” video (which i haven’t watched & won’t bother searching for) with or without the complicity of wiwibloggs (it doesn’t matter really) just to set the comment boxes ablaze. Then the video vanishes. Thus, people can’t do anything else but discuss the Swedish song & artist, instead of concentrating on more deserving songs.

Eye Cue throwing shade at Benjamin:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BiEkHxzDH2j/
Haha! 😀
Amazing! Dance him/Ingrosso off! Using his song against him! True artist!!!! Clever move!!! They are winning so many points!!!
Agree, clever move!
Thank you Wiliam for standing up for Benjamin in the interview in Aftonbladet.
He was immature, but he apologized. There’s no need to crucify the guy.
In this case, you are all being immature as well.
All of us?
Everybody Stop the war U2.
Sorry then 🙁
You look like a re-tard coz your comments and opinions are stu-pid you S.O.B.
I am so so so sorry for what I said. I formally apologise. Sincerely yours…
Just say Yay! babe.
Okay, when you put it like that….
Perhaps no-one should ever apologise ever again. Get real.
Apology is not the problem but showing words on Note on an unknown iPhone is no way of apologising. Did his assistant write it for him? Or perhaps his PR? Also, saying it was all humour and taken out of context is NOT a proper apology! It was not funny and the context was clear! This is a principle we should all stand. Eurovision is meant to bring good and promote love and peace and what he did is clearly not. Since Jo is fine with his way of apology, I guess I can now say whatever and they apologise… Read more »
Everbody that never say or write negative things about songs or make misstakes themself may throw the first stone. Espessialy when they were young.
Sounds like a fart.
And he looks like he was picked from the streets
The trolls are strong in the comment section. Quite hilarious !
Boohoo Ingrosso… I want more than ever a massive vote for FYROM… And in the final: FYROM 15th, Sweden 16th… Ahahah
I found his reactions unacceptable. He couldn’t find a single good thing about most of the entries? Even when he said that he liked a song, he would add a controversial and shady comment in the end that would take all the nice words back. Very rude and unprofessional. And he wasn’t joking around. I think those were his genuine thoughts. People that defend him say that it’s his opinion, but there are different ways on expressing an opinion, and his way shouldn’t be one of them. He should at least make an apology video, since he bothered to express… Read more »
If you bothered to Google around you would find an apology post
That apology is nothing! It was not a sincere at all. It was made to only save himself and his votes. He should at least do a video to apologise! Not a written note on his phone!
And how do you know it’s not sincere? You was there with him?
He has been devistated. Afraid that the musicans will beleve that he doesn’n respect them.
Feel bad since he never resived this massive hate. Feel afraid to meet the escfaans and perform in lisbon. He is thinking that escfans will boo at him etc.
He is a boy, 20 year old. He is very impulsive and not that strategic. He made a misstage and was honest. Did’t see the concequenses. But he hasn’t killen anyone.
I guess that all you that can’t forgive never say somting negative about the artists?
Fellow competitors know bye now he doesn’t respect them. If I were him I would be more worried that I will have to meet them in Lisbon, and mostly, they’re juries! I feel kinda sorry for him now, but not so much
He’s not a boy. I would understand if he was 10, but 20? At 20 years old people go to college and learn how to be respectful and use their brain. I’m in my twenties too, but I don’t go around bullying people. Anyway, I hope this reaction from fans will make him reflect and change his attitude. But he should face the consequences!
You are an f**king d*mba*s and that is why you believe a “sincere” note on a phone (not even sure if he typed it or if it is his phone) you d**b S.O.B.
O, did I offend you? I offer my sincerest apology. I am truly sorry for what I said. I am so so so sorry. Sincerely yours
I said apology Video, not just a post on Twitter.
Benjamin Ingrosso (Reacts to ) Eurovision Song Contest 2018
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRUHq1InVTA
Im Just wondering how much money do you get to delet this video? shame on you wiwi!!
It’s on many sites. Here is his full reaction:
http://sendvid.com/65lc76sv
Bu wait. But he’s gracing ordinary pop-mess your country has submitted. How much taxes do yall pay to knock off one european country from final? Per Year.
This lyrical masterpiece deserves top 5 according to wiwi top hehe
And it will get top 5 despite your aversions. Plus it will probably be one of the biggest ESC hits of the year
I don’t think he will hit many charts across Europe. IMO, France, Czech Republic, Israel, and ofc the winner of the contest (if not one of those three), have the ESC hits of this year.
But he will. He is already been played on German and Polish radio. France won’t be a hit because it is not a radio hit song. Plus its in French which limits its success. Czech Republic and Israel could be hits too. Polish song too
Poland’s song sounds too flat and cliche for the radio stations, even more than “Grab the Moment”, which wasn’t any hit, except in Norway. About France, the language isn’t really a big issue: “Occidentali’s Karma” did much better than many so called “radiofriendly” songs in English last year. And ofc the winner, Portugal, whose song charted in many countries.
Benjamin Ingrosso’s full reaction video is re-loaded to a lot of different sites. There are now articles and various media coverage on his reaction. Kevin Lee from Wiwibloggs and Ingrosso’s PR was trying to stop it but there is a group effort to protect the full video and spread it to as many audience as possible. Hopefully there will be more people who can see his reactions.
Did you just admit that there has been a “group effort” to bring down Wiwibloggs all season? If so, it may be self-incriminating.
@Katie: Don’t start a comment war with me. I already replied to you on the Greek lyrics thread. No-one gets to tell me to STFU, especially not on here. That was unacceptable. And no, I never directly defended Benjamin’s actions – you are either making that up or you have been fooled by one of the many trolls on here.
The trolls’ end purpose would seem to be to bring this site down, otherwise why else would they be impersonating others on here and constantly spreading hate and insults? I can see no other reason for it happening.
You remind me of those media articles that make things up from totally another angles given. He’s not defending him, spit out your toxicity before you enter comments.
He was rude with many other singers… I hope he learns about respect.
What he said about Hungary really hurts.
The countries he praised must be hurt, too! I’m ok, he mocked my country, just as I expected.
Minimalistic … that’s another word for a ridiculous and childish song. Stay in the semis please !
Haha. The clip Wiwi desperately tried to delete is up again guys! Different Eurovision channels and mainstream press are reporting on it. Hopefully it will go viral.
Big applause to those who kept the source clip. Please keep repost them and spread it like wildfire.
What “mainstream press”? I haven’t seen it in anything here.
I know, this is the troll again.
It’s on the Metro I think. There are indeed a couple of articles on it.
You mean this cheap Metro story?:
http://metro.co.uk/2018/04/27/this-time-swedens-eurovision-entry-really-is-sorry-after-commenting-on-other-songs-7504192/
It doesn’t even mention the word “Wiwibloggs” at all. Better luck next time.
Actually there was a video that Wiwibloggs uploaded with Ingrosso reacting on the 43 acts and it received a lot of negative comments due to his controvercial reactions. Wiwi then took it down, but you can still find some pieces of the video on YT. Personally I found his comments very rude and he came out as a real bully.
Thanks Lourdes. I have only managed to see sections of it, so it’s possible I haven’t got the full picture. What Benjamin said about the FYR Macedonia drummer was really bad, for sure.
Yes cause im sure the headline “guy reacts to Eurovision” will gather views.
No one outside Wiwibloggs care
Yes cause im sure the headline “guy reacts to Eurovision” will gather views around the world. Get over yourself! No one outside Wiwibloggs care
Fellow competitors care, and the juries are bound to find out from them. It will not be without consequencies. Just wait and see!
Lol juries. As if they care what a bunch of pathetic cry- babies on a forum thinks. Newsflash: They don’t. Nor does anybody else. So stop thinking Wiwiblogg is bigger than it is.
And you do know juries don’t even hang out with the contestants right? They don’t even travel to the host country
This S.O.B. is a total Wan- ker
^This is not the real L’Oiseau.
This is a troll who is trying to be funny, and failing miserably.
