As a producer, he has frequently collaborated with Childish Gambino, producing his studio albums Camp, Because the Internet and "Awaken, My Love!" among others. Göransson's producing work on Gambino's single "This Is America" was met with acclaim and accolades. The song earned him two Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Overall, his work with Gambino earned him six Grammy Award nominations.
He has also produced for other recording artists such as Adele, Haim, Chance the Rapper, Alicia Keys, and Travis Scott.
Göransson was born and raised in Linköping, Sweden. His mother, Maria, a florist, is from Warsaw, Poland and his father Tomas, a guitar teacher, is Swedish. He has an older sister named Jessika. He is named after Ludwig van Beethoven. He began music lessons at a young age and went on to graduate from the Stockholm Royal College of Music.
In 2007, he moved to Los Angeles to study at the University of Southern California Scoring for Motion Picture and Television program. It was at that university that Ludwig met Ryan Coogler, for whom Ludwig composed the score for the award-winning short film Fig in 2011 (written by Alex George Pickering), which Coogler directed while at USC. The pair would then work together on Fruitvale Station, Creed and Black Panther. Soon after graduating USC he began work assisting Theodore Shapiro, a composer known for films such as Along Came Polly, The Devil Wears Prada, Idiocracy, and Tropic Thunder. Ludwig's first break came in 2009 as the composer for the comedy Community.

Through the mountain's end
We could write a book
Without thinking how we look
Ludwig Göransson's song "Greendale Is Where I Belong" is an ode to finding a place where you feel truly at home. The lyrics speak to the idea of embracing new friendships and experiences without fear of judgment. The opening lines, "Be my little friend/ Through the mountain's end" suggests an idyllic journey - a climb through a mountain range - that is shared with a friend. The use of the phrase "little friend" reinforces the idea that the singer is seeking a companion to explore with, someone he trusts and feels comfortable with.
The following line, "We could write a book/ Without thinking how we look," further emphasizes the message of the song. The idea is that when you feel truly at home, you can be your authentic self without fear. You can pursue your passions and creativity without worrying about how others perceive you. The line "We could write a book" is particularly powerful, as it suggests that the singer and their friend have a wealth of experiences and stories to tell - all because they have found a place where they can truly be themselves.
Overall, "Greendale Is Where I Belong" is an uplifting song about finding a place where you can be yourself and connect with others without fear of judgment. The lyrics celebrate the power of friendship and the importance of feeling truly at home.

That moment when you feel more attached to an imaginary college than the actual college you attended.
@ismailseyam3244
totally agree,but It's pitiful as shit 😥 I haven't been to my college in two years and I just attend the exams with three days of preparation. I used to go to lectures when I had two crutches, but not when I walked normally afterwards.
I know what you commented was a joke and I don't wanna ruin it, so don't bother yourself with my comment, It just felt good letting this out when I heard this song again and the fact that I still haven't told my family that I don't attend anything 😅
