"Se på mig" (literally translating into "Look At Me"; an English version is titled "Another Night") is a song by Swedish singer Jan Johansen. It represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 in Dublin, Ireland, using the alternative spelling Se på mej.

It was the 18th song that was performed on the night, following Cyprus's Alexandros Panayi with "Sti Fotia" and preceding Denmark's Aud Wilken with "Fra Mols til Skagen". At the close of the voting, it had received 100 points, ultimately finishing 3rd out of a possible 23. It was succeeded as Swedish representative at the 1996 contest by One More Time with "Den vilda".

The song peaked on the Swedish Sverigetopplistan singles chart at #1 twice. On 21 April 1995 it reached No. 1 on the charts, staying there for five weeks and then returned to #1 on 9 June 1995 for another four weeks.


Johansen has participated in Melodifestivalen four times since "Se på mig" - fourth place in 2001 with "Ingenmansland", seventh place in 2002 with "Sista andetaget" and second place in Melodifestivalen 2003 with "Let Your Spirit Fly", a duet with Pernilla Wahlgren.


He has continued to release music and toured in Sweden and Scandinavia. In February 2020, Johansen was asked to perform the song "Se på mig" as a mid time act in one of the competitions in the Melodifestivalen in Linköping. While in Linköping Johansen was asked by the production team to perform the song "Miraklernas Tid" (Time for miracles) by Thomas G:son, as a replacement for the artist Thorsten Flinck who had to leave the competition due to legal reasons. After 24 hours to think it over Johansen agreed to perform the song, save the song from being scratched from the competition with less than a week to rehearse until the competition in Gothenburg. During that week Johansen made interviews, was booked for 4 concerts witch of he had to cancelled 2 to have more time to rehearse. Johansen Johansen did some minor changes to the staging of the number, to try to make it suit his artistry better. This song was not written for Johansen and the song was only performed once and did not make it to the final. Johansen decided not to record the song.

In Marsh 2013 Johansen published his autobiography entitled Med nya ögon (Through Different Eyes) which he co-authored with journalist Colette van Luik. After being sober from alcohol since 2008 Johansen had gone through therapy and started to process aspects of his life. This resulted in this book in which he tells in a self-evident way his life story as a musician and performer. From childhood to the big breakthrough in 1995. Describes marriage, becoming dad, self-esteem, and the backside of celebrity.

Lyrics:

Se på mig

När din väg är lång och du är trött
Men du måste ändå gå, mmm...
Och när skuggorna börjar växa och få liv
Och när natten skrämmer så
Är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
Och hos dig stannar jag kvar

Så se på mig, åhå... en hamn i stormen
Som en våg som fötts att bära dig
Ja, se på mig, åhå... i ljus och mörker
Är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig

När du står en dag vid ett vägskäl i ditt liv
Som ett vilset litet barn
Är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
Och hos dig stannar jag kvar

Så se på mig, åhå... en hamn i stormen
Som en våg som fötts att bära dig
Ja, se på mig, åhå... i ljus och mörker
Är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig

Jag går med dig vart du går och aldrig lämnar jag dig

Så se på mig, åhå... en hamn i stormen
Som en våg, som fötts att älska dig
Ja, se på mig, när ljuset blir till mörker i ditt liv
Är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Älskar dig så

English:

Look at me

When your journey is long and you are weary
But you still have to go on, mmm...
And when the shadows start to grow and come to life
And when the night scares you so
I am beside you and I follow every step you take
And with you I'll stay

So look at me, oho... a haven in the storm
Like a wave, that is born to carry you
Yes, look at me, oho... in light and darkness
I'll be there and I'll never leave you

When you stand one day at a crossroads of your life
Like a lost little child
I am beside you and I follow every step you take
And I'll stay with you

So look at me, oho... a haven in the storm
Like a wave, that is born to carry you
Yes, look at me, oho... in light and darkness
I'll be there and I'll never leave you

I'll go with you wherever you go, and I'll never leave you

So look at me, oho... a haven in the storm
Like a wave, that is born to love you
Yes, look at me, when the light turns into darkness in your life
I'll be there, and I'll never leave you
Love you so
