Elinor is a song written and produced by Swedish musician Basshunter, released as a single on 20 November 2013, by Rush Hour.

Background

On 26 July 2013, Basshunter announced he was retiring from singing to focus on DJing, producing, and songwriting,[1] however his sixth single "Calling Time" from the album of the same name, was released on 27 September 2013.[2] "Elinor" was released on 20 November 2013 by Rush Hour,[3] being released as a single by Ultra Records on 17 December,[4] and is a 3 minute and nine second-long dance song[3] with a tempo of 145 beats per minute in the key of A minor.[5] "Elinor" was written and produced by Basshunter.[6] In 2016, Basshunter returned to recording[7] and his next single "Masterpiece" was released on 19 October 2018, almost five years after "Elinor" was released.[8][9]

In 2016, during an interview with Basshunter, Per Kågström from Göteborgs-Posten said it is strange that Basshunter sings many of his songs in Swedish abroad. Basshunter replied that the audience knows the lyrics anyway.[10] In 2021 Basshunter played "Elinor" live during the Øresound Festival in Copenhangen.[11] also playing in the Trädgår'n arena in Gothenburg and editor from Göteborgs-Posten considered this to be the best aspect of the Basshunter concert.[12]
