Born in Odense, Denmark, MØ was just seven when the Spice Girls inspired her to make music. In her teenage years, she sang in the punk duo MOR and looked up to Kim Gordon as a "big hero and role model". Then in her early twenties, she "fell in love" with hip-hop. All of these influences led to her dreamy electro-pop vibe as MØ, which means "maiden" or "virgin" in Danish.
In 2012, she and Ronni Vindahl began to collaborate on her first tracks. Glass was released in Janurary 2013, and Pilgrim followed in March. MØ was recognized as P3s Uundgåelige (P3 Unavoidable), a label given to rising artists by Danish radio station DR P3, as Pilgrim charted on the Danish Singles Chart. In November, she released her debut EP, Bikini Daze. Finishing out the year, she won the P3 Guld award in December.
In March 2014, she released her album No Mythologies to Follow and began touring in Europe and North America. It was supported by singles Don't Wanna Dance, Say You'll Be There (Spice Girls cover), and Walk This Way. In October 2014, she was featured on Iggy Azalea's single Beg For It and performed on Saturday Night Live — her first entry on the US Billboard charts peaking at #27. In 2015, MØ contributed vocals to Lean On, the Major Lazer and DJ Snake dancehall hit that reached #4 on the US Billboard and topped several other charts around the world.
In 2016, MØ released two singles for her upcoming second studio album — both Kamikaze and Final Song charted in several countries, with the latter reaching #1 on the UK charts. Cold Water, featuring Justin Bieber and MØ, was another Major Lazer track that reached 2 on the Billboard charts in August.

All night long 'til the birds tweet
Singing along
I need to get out
Please show me your town at night
Go light this evening sky with your fireworks
I'm gonna let you hold me for a while
You say, "Girl, you drive me crazy
Come with me to a place where the music plays."
Let me love you
All night long to a slow beat
Singing our song
Let me love you
All night long 'til the birds tweet
Singing along
Why is the rhythm always making me high?
It's harder to resist you
You get stuck in my mind
Why does the rhythm always make me go far?
Well, why should I stop
When you're right here by my side?
We walk through the crowds
I could walk for hours with your hand in mine
Go light this starry night with your fireworks
Gonna dance all night and maybe
I'm gonna tell you how I've been feeling lately
"Boy, you make me wild and crazy
Take me home, take me home, now the time is right."
Let me love you
All night long to a slow beat
Singing our song
Let me love you
All night long 'til the word spreads
Singing our song
Again and again
Again and again
Let me love you
Why is the rhythm always making me high?
It's harder to resist you
You get stuck in my mind
Why does the rhythm always make me go far?
Well, why should I stop
When you're right here by my side?
Why is the rhythm always making me high?
It's harder to resist you
You get stuck in my mind
Why does the rhythm always make me go far?
Well, why should I stop
When you're right here by my side?
Let me love you
All night long to a slow beat
Singing our song
Let me love you
All night long 'til the word spreads
Singing our song
Again and again
Again and again
The lyrics describe a night out with someone special, where they walk through crowds, light up the night sky with fireworks, and dance to the rhythm of music. The singer is drawn to the beat, and they feel like they cannot resist their partner's company. The repetitive phrase "let me love you" emphasizes the intensity of their desire and the focus on the present moment. They are enjoying the night together, cherishing each other's company, and wanting to extend the experience as long as possible, until the birds tweet and the word spreads.
The song's chorus serves as a reminder that love is not the only thing that can bring people together, but it is also the rhythm of life that can create a sense of connection between two individuals. The singer finds themselves drawn to the rhythm of the beat, and the beat seems to make them feel high and more into their partner. As they walk through crowds, they find that their partner is someone they find they can hold their hand and forget about everything else. They almost feel intoxicated by them.

Déjame amarte
Toda la noche hasta que los pájaros twitteen
Cantando Necesito salir
Por favor muéstrame tu ciudad por la noche
Ilumina este cielo nocturno con tus fuegos artificiales
Voy a divertirme un poco
y tal vez voy a dejarte abrazarme por un mientras dices:
"Chica, me vuelves loco.
Ven conmigo a un lugar donde suena la música".
Déjame amarte Toda la noche a un ritmo lento
Cantando nuestra canción
Déjame amarte
Toda la noche hasta que los pájaros
Cantando
¿Por qué el ritmo siempre me pone alto?
Es más difícil resistirse a ti
Te quedas atascado en mi mente
¿Por qué el ritmo siempre me hace llegar lejos?
Bueno, ¿por qué debería detenerme?
cuando estés aquí a mi lado
Caminamos entre la multitud .
Podría caminar durante horas con tu mano en la mía.
Ve a encender esta noche estrellada con tus fuegos artificiales.
Voy a bailar toda la noche
y tal vez te diré cómo me he sentido últimamente.
Llévame a casa, llévame a casa, ahora es el momento adecuado ".
Déjame amarte Toda la noche a un ritmo lento
Cantando nuestra canción
Déjame amarte
Toda la noche hasta que se corra la voz
Cantando nuestra canción Una y otra vez,
una y otra vez
Déjame amarte
¿Por qué el ritmo siempre me eleva?
Es más difícil resistirte a ti
te quedas atascado en mi mente
¿Por qué el ritmo siempre me hace llegar lejos?
Bueno,
¿por qué debería parar cuando estás aquí a mi lado?
Déjame amarte Toda la noche a un ritmo lento
Cantando nuestra canción Déjame amarte
Toda la noche hasta que se corra la voz
Cantando nuestra canción...
