"Under ytan" () is a song written by Uno Svenningsson and recorded by him for his debut album as a solo artist, Uno, released in 1994. It was released as a single the same year. The song, which opens with the cello being played, was also used by insurance companies in an anti-violence campaign. In 1998, the song was recorded by Blues.
Loreen released a cover of the song as a single on 18 December 2015, simultaneously performing it live on TV on at Svenska Hjältar-Galan. It was her first single released in Swedish. Loreen turned the guitar pop track into a moody, electronic ballad which starts out with just her voice and some synths, but halfway through explodes with a lush production and more vocal power.
Michael from 'A Bit of Pop Music said; "This type of moody electro ballads suits her powerful and mystical sounding vocals the best." requesting more of this on her second album.
Scandipop said; ""Under Ytan" [is] a stark and dramatic new production that builds into something special."
In 2017, Kikki Danielsson recorded the song during SÃÂ¥ mycket bättre. The song was then called "At the Border", depicting the situation of refugees throughout the world.
