You are wrong, her main language is not Swedish, although I'm guessing it is one of her languages at home. I don't know how she defines herself (not finlandssvensk at least, she said that in one of her vlogs), but I'm thinking she has a bilingual (Finnish/Swedish) background. Her father comes from Sweden, but she went to Finnish-speaking school in Finland which usually makes that language stronger. But the reason she has a perfect English accent is probably not thanks to Swedish, as Swedish-speakers usually have a clear accent in English, so that doesn't explain anything. (BTW, accents are not "bad English" in my world.) What might explain the pronunciation is that she lived in both the US and Britain with her family for a while AND that she also seems to have a talent and interest for languages overall. My experience is also that if you speak more than one language at home you are better prepared to adapt to other languages. Monolinguals usually have a harder time with that. She was asked in an interview once how to "get rid of a Finnish accent" and she answered: "My advice is, just go for it. Just start talking, it gives a better impression than silence. An accent doesn't bother anyone." Good advice.
+theRPGmaster Her main language is Finnish and Swedish because her grandpa was swedish... And she has so good english because she lived in the US for a long time when she was a kid
Actually SAARA and SMtown had worked together (specially with girls generation )she wrote 'You think ' for SNSD and it seems that SMentertainment bought rights of the song (you can just Google it !)
Just saw some comments... wow no, people are sleeping on this video hit. The SKILL level it takes to do what she did underwater is like unreal and hard; it's something to admire! I don't know any artist who's tried to do a completely underwater theme video (for this style of music either)... Can we not appreciate how she was still able to fuse sensuality and power in her video, WITHOUT overtly sexualizing herself? I mean to each their own, but the art direction for this was on point to me. If it's a little awkward... I feel that's part of her thing. Like the whole time I was appreciating how strong of a swimmer, how well she could breathe underwater, her ability to choreograph... like I saw a strong woman. And I feel like that's awesome. So many videos you only think of like oh there's the boobs and butts, oh there's the sex and drugs, but here it was like only good things, nothing exploitive. And I really appreciate like strangely relatable the video was; anybody can get dreamt in a pool. Sometimes music videos for pop is waaay too fantastical, over the top, or do that slow motion thing to rev up how sexy the singer is- I'm glad she didn't do any of that. Instead we got something playful, whimsical, dreamy, strong. I hope she gets more fans... At the same time, if she gets more popular, I hope she maintains her natural sensibility, because it's gold.
omg 3:04 - 3:06... That was just glorious movement. Amazing director you have there Saara. It's so refreshing to see a classy MV that doesn't need skin to be sensual. AMAZING
ajtxx my eyes don’t hurt in Chlorine nor salt water.... I’ve gotten used to it tho. But I do know how it feels tho... cause it’s not something you just get used to! It takes TIME!💋
This is gorgeously done. Amazing song, amazing voice, amazing performance, and yup even amazing video. Don't know how people don't like the video. Gorgeous colours and movement. Keep it up Saara... looking forward to more!!!
10/10 i could watch this 1000 times the shots were really good it is really hard to shoot underwater and this was amazing! and you OMG, this vid shows you are a woman not a girl like the other video.
Wow, everyone in the commentsection seems to be musicmanagers. I LOVE the song and the video is just fine. This is her first EP solo, geez cut her some slack, I loved it!
I have great respect for you as I think you are extremely talented and have a huge vocal capacity, not to mention your extraordinarily beautiful voice, but Saara, I believe you were born to sing a lot harder songs. Most talented people can sing pop style but you, you were made for something bigger, for songs that truly showcase your range of vocal abilities. Much love, I wish you great success :)
Well, you got nothing. Look at the number of views, 90k only. What a hit right? I think Sara should just leave the music thing all together and get into the film industry. I mean, we know that Emilia Clarke had a stupid start, and she wasn't even ready to be an actor, and now she's the Khaleesi of all times.
Im just replaying this over and over again. I truuuuly love your music Sara! And i love love love every single one of your youtube videos. YOU GOT ME TO CLEAN MY CLOSET OUT!
It's so beautiful, I'm so happy that you are now making music on your own, it's so much better! Hope your future songs will be as great as, if not better than, this one. Love watching your vids, they make my week a lot better!
i just knew your channel scince a year when i was looking for korean language learning so i found you talking 20 language and i loved you ... you was funny ... after a month i think you wrote u think for snsd so i loved you more😄😄😄
![MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Froot [Official Music Video]](/img/1.gif)
It seems that she can speak fish as she does not drown while singing under water. WHAT A TALENT
u kno shes not rly singin
+Yochanan -_- it was a joke dude
Emmi Siikamäki en usko
mitä jos saaral ei oo mtn erikois kykyä vaa se on vaa oikeesti kala? 0-0
RONIIII!!!€€€€€€€
Love when finnish people sing perfect english. Just hope you get more audience for your voice! x
That's because her main language is Swedish, Swedish speakers (like me) in both Finland and Sweden are generally better at English
You are wrong, her main language is not Swedish, although I'm guessing it is one of her languages at home. I don't know how she defines herself (not finlandssvensk at least, she said that in one of her vlogs), but I'm thinking she has a bilingual (Finnish/Swedish) background.

Good advice.

Puu Pää I live in her town in Finland, mate
+theRPGmaster Then I'm surprised you don't know more about her. All info I have on her is from interviews with her and her own vlog.
Everyone wondering if this is the same as "I Just Wanna Dance" SAARA actually was a co-writer to that song
You mean by Tiffany? It sound quite similar.
It's the same backtrack/instrumental :)
+Jibooty I don't know really. One korean and one english for more attention maybe?
Actually SAARA and SMtown had worked together (specially with girls generation )she wrote 'You think ' for SNSD and it seems that SMentertainment bought rights of the song (you can just Google it !)
+jessica Wu she also co-wrote lyrics for NCT U's 7th sense.
THIS SONG IS SO GOOD WHY CAN'T I FIND IT ON SPOTIFY
This is her best one yet. Crisp production and beautiful Mariah Carey/Ariana Grande -rnb-vibes. Wish she'd continued with this style.
I wish Saara and Tiffany(SNSD) will perform together once or a collaboration would be nice :D
they two songs sound so alike right !
They perform together with this song, so they mesh it up well on stage
chances are SM bought the song from Saara, they also bought You Think from Saara so
it would be perfect, like srsly, i love both of them so muchh 8)
Saara you are literaly the best person in the workd
you are
1. beautiful
2. talented
3. Musical
4. funny AS FUCK
5. loving
THIS IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THIS IS TRUE!!
Learn to type, weeaboo disgrace

The sudden urge to stream this bop

edit: *dreamy in a pool
Incredibly well said! I totally agree!
The singer Aaliyah did it in an actual ocean before she past. Watch her rock the boat video.
TL;DR: It good.
YASS Saara!! So coold to finally see your own music!! Proud
She randomly popped into my head and I just miss her!
this is and superpowers is my favorite songs from her i wish they’d put it back on spotify or put it on soundcloud atleast 😭
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY 😭😭😭😭
OMFG DID YOU COMPOSE I JUST WANNA DANCE? OH MY GOD
She did!
she also composed you think from snsd and the 7th sense from ntc u
omg 3:04 - 3:06... That was just glorious movement. Amazing director you have there Saara. It's so refreshing to see a classy MV that doesn't need skin to be sensual. AMAZING
still one of my favorites
Still listening in 2021. ❤️
why isnt this song available on spotify anymore?? I love this song sooo much 😍😍😍
Sara this is genius. I cant compare this to Ur cool. Such a simple and beautiful video, and your voice is on point. Keep going girl
Finally, Saara is doing what she loves and I just hope this is a hit success cause she is just too talented to be in the shades, this must go viral
i dont think people realize how hard it is to keep your eyes open in water without goggles like it hurts okay
no it doesn't if it's clear water, the thing hurting your eyes is the chlorine added to it
ajtxx my eyes don’t hurt in Chlorine nor salt water.... I’ve gotten used to it tho. But I do know how it feels tho... cause it’s not something you just get used to! It takes TIME!💋
It depends on the type of water. Pool water (with chlorine) and saltwater from the ocean obviously do
When the beat drop, I knew that's I Just Wanna Dance!!
SAARA is so talented!! And the video is so beautiful!!
2nd version of "I just wanna dance" love it. SAARA made both songs perfect
Saara wrote the song for Tiffany
Miss Saara. Time has passed and this song is still fucking IT
2k18 and this is my jam.
at first i didn't really like it, but now it's really growing on me and i LOVE IT!! I have it on repeat :P
I felt the same at the beginning but now I'm really into California and this one
She is the most adorkable water fairy I have ever seen 😆🙈💙
If Ariana Grande sung this it would of been a #1 hit. The industry is so unfair.
it's incredible the amount of talent that one human being can possess. I am delighted by you Saara. ❤️💕
THIS SONG IS VERY UNDERATED
Incredible,she can be everyone,this women is so intense in whatever she does.god
I keep coming back to this BOP
I think this song...is underrated... And hole intier girl...she is some really holy..thanks for my heart when I listen to her...
IM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR CHOOSING YOUR OWN PATH AND NOT LETTING A RECORD LABEL CONTROL YOU
Still jamming to this in 2020
I WANT KARAOKE VERSION OF THIS!!
BEEN WAITING FOR FOUR YEARS , SOME BODY PLEASE!!
Love this song so much, should deffo be on Spotify!!
I'm glad I contacted YRC, the video was blocked in Canada for a very long time. Thank you for making it available. :)
Omg yes! Finally! I've been waiting for this so long. The video is really well made and so impressive. 🙌💕
i've been waiting for this since i exited the womb
Its exactly the same like korean song I just wanna dance by Tiffany 😱😱😱😱 Omg
yeah cause she writes songs that sometimes SM picks up, she wrote You think for SNSD too.
It really is so similar :O i know she writes songs for sm but it's still weird :/
also Drip Drop of Taemin and The 7th Sense of NCT U
OMG THAT IS SO TRUE
who cares i love both :D saara and my fanyfany :3
This is really good 😇 Now its stuck in my head thx 😄😱😘
YAS SAARA SLAY QUEEN
seconds in and I'm already in love
I’m guessing this song won’t be released on iTunes. I hoped it would be available by now 🤦♂️ This is still one of her best songs to date !
The whole time i was thinking about how hard and exhausting it must've been to shoot this video. Love the song tho! ♡
So gorgeous omg
I Just Wanna Dance (?)
+Nekfenouil Yes 💓
It doesn't sound similar, I'm pretty sure it's the same. Perhaps she wrote the original version. She's written kpop songs before
+Evelynn Drew Yes, I know, both songd are cool.
she actually co-wrote I just wanna dance
Yes! I love both songs
I love this song !
Wow this video is so original to me. Man, there should be more views!
proud to be below 1M views club , as I'm confident that this video will reach 1M views in no time !
This is gorgeously done. Amazing song, amazing voice, amazing performance, and yup even amazing video. Don't know how people don't like the video. Gorgeous colours and movement. Keep it up Saara... looking forward to more!!!
saara te amo
Okay, I'm addicted to this now. :D
Yessss 80s vibess
10/10 i could watch this 1000 times the shots were really good it is really hard to shoot underwater and this was amazing! and you OMG, this vid shows you are a woman not a girl like the other video.
Love this song! Kiss from Poland
Wow, everyone in the commentsection seems to be musicmanagers. I LOVE the song and the video is just fine. This is her first EP solo, geez cut her some slack, I loved it!

Get it on streaming ♥️
So underrated! This is such a bop!
Damn I'm addicted to this song. Amazing job!
How this isn't massive is beyond me
I love this song aghhh
Honestly i think this song is so good, it's a matter of opinion. Your journey, your style!
One of her best songs. It’s a shame that we can’t get it on iTunes in the U.S 😞
I have great respect for you as I think you are extremely talented and have a huge vocal capacity, not to mention your extraordinarily beautiful voice, but Saara, I believe you were born to sing a lot harder songs. Most talented people can sing pop style but you, you were made for something bigger, for songs that truly showcase your range of vocal abilities. Much love, I wish you great success :)
Wow, you are the best song writer. I love all your song. 😍
Saara I am seriously obsessed with this song haha
This is really good . More people need to see this !
The whole time I was waiting for the music video for this song to come out I was sooooooooo excited and I counted down the days lol.
Well, you got nothing. Look at the number of views, 90k only. What a hit right? I think Sara should just leave the music thing all together and get into the film industry. I mean, we know that Emilia Clarke had a stupid start, and she wasn't even ready to be an actor, and now she's the Khaleesi of all times.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! I LOVE IT ALREADY 💗💗💗💗
She deserves the world.
