@@visitingstatue69 she didnt direct the video thats right but im pretty sure she does write her own songs and even if she doesnt produce all alone she clearly has a creative freedom to wprk with the producers. I mean this song is from 2005 and doesnt sound like anything that was hitting the top 10 charts that period.
@@manicagency yeah no. This track is not in any way ‘rnb crossover.’ It’s the beginning of her moving in a more electro pop/indie direction musically. The only thing rnb about it is her vocal tone and delivery. It was well ahead of its time and remains under-appreciated because the general public picked up more on her uptempo stuff. This album is amazing and showcased how extremely unique Robyn is. It really showed off what she was capable of as an artist beyond just being a great pop singer. Robyn is one of my all time faves and has been since her first album. There’s something very special there no matter what she does style wise.
I was working as a farm hand on a big dairy farm when this came out. I remember driving up and down the cattle races and around the fields in a big tractor, blasting this on the radio. Such a manly farmer I was.

Same here,.It better be EXCEEDINGLY GOOD pop for me to like it ,.I like ROBYN : ) It's ALL her,.Not some producer jerking her chain like some of these other "so called" talents that suck azz
How the hell can everyone diss this video? Its pure awsomeness, and that song has such a nice beat. This girl has worked so hard to get where she are now she deserves every second of it.
I'd have Robyn's back! She has a habit of making songs which you find humming the nextday! ..that's a lyrical & musical gift. loads of good energy to all in 2020.
I freakin' love this song. I love how Robyn looks different and is not your typical over plasticised pop singer. She's different and that's beautiful and she looks like she's not ready to get down with the typicals and that for me is just encouraging!
This video is really connected to the lyrics of the song....nobody but a small few have managed to see that. The whole point of her being in a box is because that's just where society/the music industry wants her, boxed into their definitions of what a woman "should" be/appear like. As the video goes on, she gets more colourful and also madder and madder, because she's a unique individual and doesn't belong in a box so that people can "handle" her. She's telling people you CAN'T handle me.
creative artist like this dont come very often and listeners arent used to it so the often get overlooked its a shame video isnt like anything else i respect and i love huge fan love!! hopefully shell get more known she desvers it :)
I was going through my high school memorabilia and I come across this song title and artist written on one of my papers. I don't remember writing it, but I knew I had to check it out! Now seven years later, I'm hearing this again for the first time! Brings back memories! ❤️
Like.. I guess not me. Getting older I prefair to be like yeah sure whatever, do what you want to do and alienate than care if I am hard to handle or not, fuck people you all suck.
Robyn is a trendsetter in a way. She does something, no one gives her the credit she deserves, someone else does similar years later and the world goes crazy. I was shocked when I found out that TLC and Robyn rejected “(Hit me Baby) One More Time” that subsequently went to Britney. The world today would be so much different if Robyn had made a different decision! The power she holds in the music industry is massive and unknown!
Not a lot of people know who Robyn is referring to in this song. But I happen to have if on good authority that she's singing about a British guy called Jamie Theakston. He does a lot of voice over work
One of her bests songs ever; with every hearbeat and show me love are great too ! Call your girlfriend, hang with me, u should know better,konichiwa bitches and dancing on my own are pure class as well. There are other songs, but I don't want to make an extensive list. I have only listed some of my favorites !!!
She is not afraid to be creative. Fun song, fun video. I really like her...I haven't heard anyone relatively new in years that I really like a lot. I really do like her a lot. Gorgeous little mink!
the way they censored nazi i was hearing "Hispanic" and i was kinda freaked out.....why not keep nazi? that wud be so nice. fearing neo nazis gives them power they don't deserve...
Are you meaning the fact that they both have boxes? Because artists have been using boxes in their music videos to dance in before Madonna decided to in 94 or whenever it was...
Pacifica Northwest Well I remember vividly when the song came out. they accused her of racism in the press for saying 'Hispanic'. I do apologise. you seem very unhappy, are you okay?
One thing I love about this song: I really love the subtle dramatic strings that underlay the light and bubbly instrumentation. They sound slightly out of place, yet they still work.
I agree! I think her style makes her stand out. I dont think that some of the stuff she wears does much for her but the fact that she still wears them (probably knowing full well how unatractive they are) just makes her a really cool person.
She was definitely ahead of her time. regardless, she’s timeless n will always be appreciated
Preach 💯🙌
how? non of this is her work, its someone else's creative ideas. she didnt direct, write or produce the song. she hired a team to do it for her

lets go 2024 this is still a banger
her style was so fucking kool...she wasnt really trying to be anybody else but her...shes so insanely underrated it saddens my heart.
star wonder #FACTS
has probably made a good living doing what she loves and isn't famous to the point where life becomes difficult. i'd say shes doing alright.
way ahead of its time
Good song but not ahead of its time, it's a RnB cross over and there were plenty of those in the mid 2000s

You cannot compare Robyn, she stands alone, nobody else gets close.
She has no need to fear anybody.

aore Robyn thank you
Robyn, much like a cat, cannot simply be put in a box. However, if you leave a box around for her to play in, apparently this will eventually happen.
@May your swords stay sharp! (mysss29) LOL
The only artist out there that has her own pop sound, not a fan of pop in general but a big fan of Robyn and her unique sound and style
Same here,.It better be EXCEEDINGLY GOOD pop for me to like it ,.I like ROBYN : ) It's ALL her,.Not some producer jerking her chain like some of these other "so called" talents that suck azz
This is something that would legit be made today. The beat , the vibe, like everything. it's insane
It's nice to see Robyn getting the views she deserves.
She deserves more :)
Love Robyn, her music and style
Robyn is awesome and one of a kind. You don´t see original very often these days- but here is one!
How the hell can everyone diss this video? Its pure awsomeness, and that song has such a nice beat. This girl has worked so hard to get where she are now she deserves every second of it.
Love this woman! Used to listen to this song so much ❤️ Robyn needs more credit for that voice

Thumbs up 4 Robyn. Handle Me 10 years ..... still the best......who is with me??????
I'm loving this. Gonna listen to all of her songs tomorrow!
Felt like coming back to this in 2021. Robyn will always be relevant.
2015 and still love this song!

Robyn does this and she looks cool & artistic. I do this and I look mentally ill. Life's not fair
it's that Scandinavian artistry in action!! great concept ''who cares about gravity I can do whatever I want !! LOVE ROBYN!
hahaha true
You do what? Mime your own song posing in various boxes with many outfit changes? You DO that?
Why?
And not funny.
Sure... How. Ya been ok
One of my all-time favourite songs and with such a great video
Quality music!
she always has the coolest music videos...she's so underrated.

Who is still hard to handle (and loving Robyn) in 2019?
Getting harder to handle every year 😂
Joel yessssss ♥️💯 Hope life treating you well! Beautiful pic🙈

awwwwww remember this !love her!!!
This is so Great! 💜😊💜😊
I ♥ Robyn
Wow I've missed this song. The hair, herself, everything. 🥰
such a good song
Not a lot of people know who Robyn is referring to in this song. But I happen to have if on good authority that she's singing about a British guy called Jamie Theakston. He does a lot of voice over work
memories from 5 years ago flashing back. last year of high school.. ah.. sweet times..
she's always been dope and kept her own style, in every decade. great artist
One of her bests songs ever; with every hearbeat and show me love are great too ! Call your girlfriend, hang with me, u should know better,konichiwa bitches and dancing on my own are pure class as well. There are other songs, but I don't want to make an extensive list. I have only listed some of my favorites !!!
;-D
tht was deep! im sooo feeelin this chik!
the delevingne look before it was cool lol
Did you wash that down with a microbrew IPA?
Are you REALLY comparing Robyn to that "model/actress"? 🙄
Robyn was. Is. And will always be cool(er) 👌
Fact: Only that it is a Robyn look
Delevingne who loool? Robyn is an icône and forever cooool!!!
Why would anyone dislike this?
I was surprised seeing how many times this video was disliked
tnt ntn what is the word that is censored in this song, i really don't know? do you think it might be that? x
If it's censored, then why would anyone dislike this?
tnt ntn good point
geckos The censored word is "Nazi". Why they would censor that is beyond me...
Superb song. She has an extremely unique way of singing and also moving. She' s a great example, someone who doesn't follow the crowd.
This is like, my favorite music video of all time.
this, be mine, call your girlfriend, dancing on my own and in your eyes are my fav songs of hers! Best pop singer you never heard of!
One of my favourites songs of Robyn, just love it :)
Brilliant!
Sweden and Great Britain = Best Artists!!
her dancing is so awesome!
Was she dressed as a jukebox? I love her crazy style!
thumbs up if you're tempted to write a 'still watching in 2015' post :D
I love Robyn!!!!
I remember when this video first came out and everyone was shitting on her look. Robyn, too ahead of your time!
Sia and. Robyn should make something together!
deus que livre a Robyn disso
Oh man, those are the 2 big artists I've discovered in the past few months. That would be a dream pairing!
great suggestion
SO PERFECT
I'm totally not ready for that great music apocalypse :D
Definitely one of her best out of many.
I love her, she's different and she's sexy at the same time. And of course she's doing great music
Watch Me Whip Watch Me Tae Tae yeah she's great XD
I love her clothes
She is not afraid to be creative. Fun song, fun video. I really like her...I haven't heard anyone relatively new in years that I really like a lot. I really do like her a lot. Gorgeous little mink!
This video didn't let me blink ._.
Those Swedes. ^^D
Sweden must have better music per capita than any country in th world..Seriously
Still Brilliant. Does it every time xxx
they dont make singers like her anymore..
How about Tove Styrke
preachin to the choir sista ;)
she started of as a dancer in the 90's big break on will smith's fresh prince of bel air
lorde...
@@Anne-ul1lx is nothing in comparison of robyn.. come on..
she puts all of todays pixie cut pop stars to shame
I love her uniqueness, ain't no one like her. Thank god she exist because i so am saving this muuuusssiccc Yes Sir
Too bad most of America is missing out on her!
before jessie j there was a robyn...
one of the best music video of 00's
i rly dont understand why the word "nazi" is changed in the song. is it that bad to say "nazi" ?
Newspeak. That word was purged.
Who still here in 2023?🎉 #buybacklahaina
i love robyn!!
Upon a second viewing I've noticed that gravity took the day off.
2018 Robyn is immortal
the jukebox outfit is everything!
Somebody please explain me the physics behind the video, like where is gravity..
Now We See Where Miley Gets Her "Unique" Ideas From...
Love Fall 2007 as a fashion season. Great colors! And Robyn is amazing too.
gotta laugh now because I just realised she did the khaleesi look before GoT was a TV series
the way they censored nazi i was hearing "Hispanic" and i was kinda freaked out.....why not keep nazi? that wud be so nice. fearing neo nazis gives them power they don't deserve...
I just love her jukebox dress...hehe! absolutely adorable...and she's doing the teddy bear :))
2017!!! Donald Trump can't handle this
I love Robyn, but this video is too similar to Madonnas Human nature.
Are you meaning the fact that they both have boxes? Because artists have been using boxes in their music videos to dance in before Madonna decided to in 94 or whenever it was...
Kylie Minogue did that in one of her music videos, too, if I remember correctly!! 🤔 🤔
This box says everything. Thank you Robyn.
Everyone remember the good ol' days, when you could say the word 'Nazi' without being bleeped out?
Pacifica Northwest the song doesn't mention 'Nazi' it's narcissistic and the blanked word is Hispanic.
The bleeped word IS 'Nazi', Look up the lyrics, if you don't believe me. Unless you need some help... ;)
Pacifica Northwest you are totally right, I apologise. To suggest I am unable to search lyrics though- bit rude.
Well, maybe if you'd done it in the first place, I wouldn't have made that assumption. :)
Pacifica Northwest Well I remember vividly when the song came out. they accused her of racism in the press for saying 'Hispanic'. I do apologise. you seem very unhappy, are you okay?
Her eyebrowns are better now
Love this song along with With Every Heartbeat, love it.
I normally only like oldies music, but for Robyn I'll make an exception :)
i love robyn. from south africa
One thing I love about this song: I really love the subtle dramatic strings that underlay the light and bubbly instrumentation. They sound slightly out of place, yet they still work.
yup!! i just discovered her so now im checking out her music!! she's awesome
I love this song and also love the way Robyn danced...
I agree! I think her style makes her stand out. I dont think that some of the stuff she wears does much for her but the fact that she still wears them (probably knowing full well how unatractive they are) just makes her a really cool person.
