The lowdown: Though she cautions a potential suitor to take it slow, Robyn sounds less than convinced in this pulsing, vivacious paean to trust and reciprocity in relationships. Originally written by Klas Åhlund in 2002 for his then-wife Paola Bruna, it was reworked for inclusion on Body Talk, turning a melancholy midtempo ballad into a soaring dance anthem. It served as the only single from Body Talk Pt. 2, reaching #10 on the club chart and #2 in Robyn's native Sweden.
The vote: While other songs soared and collapsed around it, "Hang With Me" remained a stable performer on this countdown. With its overall score fluctuating up and down by less than half a point, it managed to back its way into the top ten by sheer consistency (though nineteen scores of 9 or above certainly didn't hurt).
Best line: "When you see me drift astray/out of touch and out of place/will you tell me to my face?"

I love the added you can hang with mes in the outro choruses. Just splendid.
How are BOTH Indestructibles still here? I should have given the revision a zero.
