Music video "When I Grow Up" on YouTube

"When I Grow Up" is the second single from Swedish recording artist Fever Ray's self-titled debut album, Fever Ray (2009).

Pitchfork Media placed "When I Grow Up" at number 36 on the website's list of The Top 100 Tracks of 2009.

The music video for "When I Grow Up" was directed by Martin de Thurah. He said of the video's visual statement:

"That initial idea was something about something coming out of water—something which was about to take form – a state turning into something new. And a double headed creature not deciding which where [sic] to turn. But the idea had to take a simpler form, to let the song grow by itself. I remembered a photo I took in Croatia two years ago, a swimming pool with its shining blue color in a grey foggy autumn landscape."

The video premiered on Fever Ray's YouTube channel on 19 February 2009. It has received over 12 million views as of March 2016.

"When I Grow Up" was placed at number three on Spin's list of The 20 Best Videos of 2009.

The song was used as part of the soundtrack for the video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.
