A World Like This

"A World Like This" is a highly personal, autobiographical single by Swedish singer and actor Omar Rudberg, released on May 29, 2026. Released through TEN Records, the track serves as the lead single for his second studio album and marks a distinct, unfiltered new musical chapter. 

Key Themes and Background

  • Autobiographical Lyrics: The song reflects Omar's childhood, moving from Venezuela to Sweden with his mother, overcoming language barriers, and feeling like an outsider who doesn't fit in. 
  • Creative Collaboration: Written by Omar alongside Karl Ivert, who also produced the track. Ivert is widely known for his work with major Swedish talent including Zara Larsson and Loreen. 
  • Fan Demands: Before the official drop, a demo shared on Omar's Discord server was downloaded over 15,000 times in under 24 hours, prompting an immediate official release. 

Official Song Lyrics

I was born in Venezuela, I was a happy kid
But then my mother and I moved to another country
She got a man, she did it all for me

So I helped my mother to write her emails in Swedish
She didn't speak it, neither did I
Lost my mother language, was called a gringo
While I'm Latino, but sometimes I'm not
 
I just really wanna say it, but it's hard to tell you
Who I am, what do I like, what do I do well, yeah
Am I even looking for an answer?
How am I supposed to fit into a world like this? No

I ain't never wanna fit into a world like this, no
I ain't got nowhere to run or hide
Why should I? How could I?
I ain't never wanna fit into a world like this, no
 
From warm beaches to cold ones
I was the brown one
Only a few ones wanted to play
The rest didn't like me, my look or singing

Thank me for dreamin' 'cause I never stopped (stopped, stopped)
I just really wanna say it, but it's hard to tell you (it's hard to tell ya)

Who I am, what do I like, what do I do well, yeah
Am I even looking for an answer?
How am I supposed to fit into a world like this? No
I ain't never wanna fit into a world like this, no

I ain't got nowhere to run or hide
Why should I? (Why should I?) How could I? (How could I?)
I ain't never wanna fit into a world like this, no
(How am I supposed to fit into a world?)
(In a world, no, I can't, no, I won't)
How am I supposed to fit into a world like this?
 
Yo soy venezolano
Hablo perfecto español y sueco, inglés también
Espero que mis sueños no me fallen
Que Dios me guarde hasta el final
