Zelmerlöw also released a bilingual English/French version titled "Should've Gone Home (Je ne suis qu'un homme)". That single charted on SNEP, the official French Singles Chart.

Live performances

Zelmerlöw performed the song from the roof of a building next to the Liseberg crowd at the Lotta på Liseberg, creating both a feeling of "isolation" and intimacy.[4]

Music video

The music video, which was directed by Mikeadelica, was released on 16 September 2015 after being "unlocked" by the fans via streaming of the song online platforms. It features a backwards story of Zelmerlöw going to tell his girlfriend about his cheating.[5]
