Following the release of two promotional singles from the album ("Army of Love" in 2011 and "Zero Gravity" in 2012), it was announced by Universal Motown Records vice-president Chris Anokute that "The Lucky Ones" would serve as the first single from the extended play. It was written by Kerli, Svante Halldin and Jakob Hazell, while production was handled by the latter two as the production team SeventyEight and was released on October 29, 2012 through Island Records. The song, a synthpop/electronic dance track, was written after Kerli's best friend's cancer diagnosis was reversed, which inspired its lyrics' message that encourages listeners to be thankful and "to never judge anybody because you don't know what's going on in their lives". It's accompanying music video, which amplifies this message, was released in December 2012. It is Kerli's third song to enter the top ten on ''Billboard'''s Hot Dance Club Songs (all of which are from ''Utopia''), peaking at number one. ==Background and release== In 2011 and 2012, Kerli released respectively two songs as promotional singles from her upcoming second studio album, ''Utopia'': "Army of Love" and "Zero Gravity", both of which had been initially announced as official singles from the album. In 2012, Kerli and Swedish production team SeventyEight, formed by Svante Halldin and Jakob Hazell, started working on songs for the album in the Westlake Recording Studios, Los Angeles, and in Stockolm, Sweden.〔 Kerli noted that she felt comfortable working in the studio with the duo, who she mentioned as her "songwriting soul mates", adding that when they "() were in the studio together the energy was full of electricity."〔 Their collaboration resulted in songs such as "The Lucky Ones". In August 2012, Universal Motown Records vice-president Chris Anokute announced through his Twitter account that a song titled "Lucky Ones" would serve as the lead single from the album. Kerli spoke about the meaning of the song after a performance on Livestream Sessions in January 2013. Her best friend was informed of enigmatic lumps inside his body which were thought to be cancerous. On his first day of chemotherapy, his mother recovered old x-rays which showed that the lumps had always been present. The discovery came moments before treatment began and he was sent home. Kerli stated that she "always wanted to believe in miracles but that day () was really lucky to witness one" and that they had been "given a second chance". She began to pen "The Lucky Ones" immediately after.〔 On October 26, 2012, "The Lucky Ones" premiered on Perez Hilton's blog.〔 Three days later, the song was made available for digital download through Island Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kerli: 'The Lucky Ones' (MP3 Music) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Lucky Ones (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
