Bergan has already managed to achieve more than 100 million streams in her career. Doors began opening for real when she released her smash hit ”All hours” October 2015, followed by ”I Kinda Like It”, February 2016. The success continued and she reached an impressive peak later in 2016, when she climbed all the way to the top of the Norwegian charts with the #1 banger ”Arigato”.
Bergan has during 2016 gone both gold and platinum (several times), charmed the Nordic audience with performances on Danish X-factor, as well as Norwegian Idol with Tinie Tempah. In addition she has been touring Europe at sold out venues with hit machine Jess Glynne, supported Justin Bieber on both his shows in Norway and Spain as well as playing a bunch of concerts and festivals with her live band. She also got nominated in the categories 'Song of the Year' with Arigato and 'Best New Artist' for the Norwegian music award, P3 gull. The opponents were some of Norway’s most popular artists. She also did an extraordinary live performance of 'Arigato' during the award show.
Bergan kicks off 2017 with releasing her brand new single “Blackout” on January 13th and with a nomination for “Song of the year” for “Arigato’ at the Norwegian Grammy Awards, Spellemann, a show taking place in Oslo on Jan 28th where she will be performing both songs. With her powerful and diverse voice, combined with a unique and playful stage presence filled with energy, Julie Bergan has managed to put herself at the center of the Norwegian music scene.

Now why you acting so shady lately?
You don't need to babysit me
Arigato, later dude
Gotta find another you, yeah someone new
I'm about to steal a car
On my way to a random bar
I'm a big girl baby
Don't protect me from the big world, baby
Oh, what you trying to protect me from?
I'm just 'tryna have some fun
But when we wake in the morning, stuck in a corner
Oh, just tell me why I have to stay
I don't really like to play it safe
Arigato motherfucker
So arigato, later
I'm a big shot baby
You can't handle my outbursts, you see
Gotta let me go crazy, baby
Arigato, what's the use
Everything you got to lose, is me and you
All I wanna do is run
Wanna see who I become?
I'm not a housewife, never will be one
I'm a big shot baby
I'm the one who makes the big bucks baby
Oh, what you trying to protect me from?
I'm just 'tryna have some fun
But when we wake in the morning, stuck in a corner
Oh, just tell me why I have to stay
I don't really like to play it safe
Arigato motherfucker
So arigato, later
What you trying to protect me from?
I'm just 'tryna have some fun
But when we wake in the morning, stuck in a corner
So arigato, later
I'm a big girl baby, now why you acting so shady lately?
So arigato, later
The lyrics of Julie Bergan’s song “Arigato” express the frustration of a young woman who is tired of being constantly controlled, protected and regulated by her partner. The phrase “I’m a big girl, baby,” communicates the message that the singer is capable of making her own decisions and taking responsibility for her actions, without needing someone to watch over her constantly. In fact, she wants to break free from the constraints of her relationship and explore her independence, even if that means risking her well-being.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the word “Arigato,” meaning “Thank you” in Japanese, is used ironically to express the singer’s resentment towards her partner’s overbearing behavior. The use of strong language, including the F-word, emphasizes the singer’s anger and frustration, and creates a rebellious tone.
The singer also challenges traditional gender roles, by rejecting the idea of being a “housewife” and striving to achieve financial success and personal freedom. The song celebrates the strength and resilience of young women who refuse to conform to society’s expectations, and who are not afraid to take risks and make mistakes in pursuit of their own happiness.

I'm a big girl, baby
I am independent and capable of taking care of myself
Now why you acting so shady lately?
Why are you behaving suspiciously these days?
You don't need to babysit me
You do not have to watch over me all the time
Arigato, later dude
Thank you, see you later
Gotta find another you, yeah someone new
I need to move on and find a new partner
I'm about to steal a car
I am going to take a car without permission
On my way to a random bar
Going to a bar without a specific destination
I'm a Columbus, 'cause he went too far
I am adventurous like Christopher Columbus, but sometimes I go too far
Don't protect me from the big world, baby
Do not shield me from the challenges of the world
Oh, what you trying to protect me from?
Why do you want to protect me so much?
I'm just 'tryna have some fun
I am simply trying to enjoy myself
But when we wake in the morning, stuck in a corner
But when morning comes, we are trapped and unable to move forward
Oh, just tell me why I have to stay
Please explain why I must remain in this situation
I don't really like to play it safe
I prefer taking risks instead of choosing the safe option
Arigato motherfucker
Thank you, but with sarcasm
So arigato, later
Thank you, goodbye
I'm a big shot baby
I am successful and confident
You can't handle my outbursts, you see
You are unable to deal with my emotional outbursts
Gotta let me go crazy, baby
Allow me to be wild and do crazy things
Arigato, what's the use
Thank you, what is the point?
Everything you got to lose, is me and you
All we have to lose in this situation is each other
All I wanna do is run
I want to escape and go away
Wanna see who I become?
Want to discover and explore my true identity
I'm not a housewife, never will be one
I am not the type of person who wants to be a traditional housewife
I'm the one who makes the big bucks baby
I am the one who earns a lot of money
What you trying to protect me from?
Why do you feel the need to protect me?
So arigato, later
Thank you, goodbye
I'm a big girl baby, now why you acting so shady lately?
I am a grown-up, why are you behaving suspiciously towards me?
So arigato, later
Thank you, goodbye
