Background
editIn an interview with Billboard, Anders SG said: "When our manager heard us demo the song through the wall to his office, he came into the studio and was like, 'What is this? It's great!' This does happen sometimes, but not on a regular basis, so we thought, maybe we're onto something. For some reason the song reminded us a little bit of some of the more melancholy Motown hits like 'Standing In The Shadows Of Love', so we wanted to have a kind of upbeat soul groove together with the pop hooks. 'Shadows' has a kind of signature drumbeat, which we like to think has become a bit of an Alphabeat trademark."[2] When speaking of getting the band back together, vocalist Stine Bramsen says that it was always "written in the stars" that they would join forces once again.[3]
