On 1 July 2016, just as promised release Little Jinder the new single 'Jag måste sluta som jag lever för evigt'.
It is a collaboration with Kent's Martin Shield, and the song's productions are not entirely unlike what Kent themselves could conjure up. It leaves behind the impression that Josefine's inner grief is reflected in some verses. And rarely does a Swedish artist accomplish its thoughts and feelings so convincingly in lyrics as Little Jinder.
On 22 October 2016, Little Jinder performed 'Du vill ha sex med mig' in Swedish TV4. Tommy Nilsson addressed the original version 'Vill du ha sex med mig' to his then wife Malin Winfrey in 2005. For the performance in Så mycket bättre (Swedish TV4) Josefine dubbed the song title to 'Du vill ha sex med mig'. The song topped straightway the Swedish charts.

Till den tiden när vi va'
Små barn
Ingen visste vad det skulle bli av
Det spela ingen roll vad det skulle bli av mig då

Små barn i blåa converse på Karlaplan
Det spela' ingen roll vad det skulle bli av mig
Åh tjugohundratvå
Vi va fjorton då tjugohundratvå
Vad
Om jag drömmer mig tillbaks
Så jag slipper känna allt jag inte kan va
Och att jag aldrig lyckats va kvar
Och hur jag sagt snälla förlåt mig
Tvåtusentvå vad hände med mig
Hundra tårar
Gömmer mig bakom en sprucken display
Allt som e kvar e en sprucken display
Tvåtusentvå jag älskade dig
Hundra tårar
Gömmer mig bakom en sprucken display
Allt som e kvar e en sprucken display
Alla drar

Bara splittror kvar
Typ dog av ljudet

Och handen blöder
Skärmen flimrar svagt
Vem e jag

The lyrics to Little Jinder's song "2002" express a longing to return to a simpler time, specifically to the year 2002 when the singer and their friends were just children. They reminisce about the carefree nature of their youth, when it didn't matter what they would become in the future. They mention wearing blue Converse shoes on Karlaplan, a square in Stockholm, symbolizing the innocence and naivety of childhood.
The singer dreams of going back to that time to escape the burdens and insecurities they currently feel. They express a sense of regret and a desire for forgiveness, perhaps for not living up to their own expectations. The phrase "hundra tårar" meaning "hundred tears" suggests that they have shed many tears over their past and the person they loved in 2002. The repeated mention of a "sprucken display" or "cracked display" represents a broken connection or communication, possibly a metaphor for a strained relationship or a shattered emotional state.
Overall, the lyrics of "2002" convey a yearning for a simpler, happier time, and a reflection on the challenges and heartaches of growing up and navigating adulthood.
