2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I'ma set the mood, if she come through, she won't forget
H-how many drinks before your chain look like my necklace?
I-I can't even think, too many strains that I ingested
I-I'ma eat this food while you complaining, ain't invested
Lil' bro you ain't this cool, you lookin' strange around the legend
She want me be her boo, she wanna take me out the trenches
And yeah I'm lightin' ooh-ooh, please don't hate me for my preference
Lil' bro, how you a shooter with no play? That shit impressive
Lil' bro, you can't get loot without no patience, take a second
And I done did commuting through the rain, can't remember
This on me wasn't ruthless, they gon' change my favorite memory
I ride with you through it, now I say your name forever
Outside with the troop, if you playin', think you clever
H-how many drinks before I make it to a stretcher?
How hard do you think it's 'sposed to rain fore' it get better?
H-how many links before I make it to your dresser?
How hard do you think? You finna make a fire jet
H-how many drinks until I make it to a stretcher?
How hard do you think it's 'sposed to rain fore' it get better?
H-how many links before I make it to your dresser?
How hard do you think? You finna make a fire jet
In "Set the Mood," Mike reflects on his current state of mind and the struggles he faces while trying to maintain his success and relationships. The song begins with Mike setting the mood for a potential encounter with a woman, suggesting that if she comes over, she won't forget the experience they have together. He then asks a rhetorical question about how many drinks it takes for someone's chain to resemble his necklace, which could be a metaphor for the lavish lifestyle and success he has achieved.
Mike mentions that his mind is clouded because he has consumed too many strains of marijuana. Despite this, he continues to enjoy his food while someone else complains, indicating that he is not bothered by negativity or lack of investment from others. Mike asserts his coolness and suggests that others may feel uncomfortable around him because he is seen as a legend. He hopes they understand that he means no disrespect and prays that they receive the message he is conveying.
The lyrics also touch on a potential romantic interest who wants to elevate him from the difficult circumstances he may be in. Mike acknowledges the attention and affection he receives but adds a disclaimer that his preferences and choices should not be judged. He advises someone referred to as "lil' bro" to be patient in his pursuit of success and recognition as a shooter, emphasizing that patience is necessary to achieve personal goals.
Reflecting on his past, Mike recalls enduring hardships and difficult journeys through rain. He alludes to a favorite memory that no longer feels as ruthless as it once did, suggesting that he has grown from his previous experiences. Mike expresses his commitment to a person who has stood by him during tough times, pledging to remember and honor their name forever. He concludes by warning that if someone tries to challenge or deceive him, they may face the consequences of playing with fire.
Overall, "Set the Mood" is a reflective song that explores themes of self-confidence, the challenges of maintaining success, the complexities of relationships, and the significance of loyalty and perseverance. Mike conveys his resilience and determination to navigate through life's struggles while remaining true to himself.
