It’s quite a strange song. I think some people may really like it and some people may not, Like always, I got inspired by a really huge, dark and horrible thing that happens in the world. The first seed of inspiration came from thinking about the countries where it’s still legal to do conversion therapy for gay people and lesbians. I just thought that’s so pointless. The first idea was me saying, ‘I don’t need a cure for me – just let me live, man!'

Why is it so difficult for people to just let others be themselves? Then I thought that it could mean many other things. People tend to believe quite quickly that something is wrong with them if they’re not like the people they see in front of them. It’s so sad that it doesn’t take much for us to really doubt ourselves.

[“Cure For Me”] has something in common with the album in that I’m experimenting with new things and new sides of me. It’s easy for me to make a really ‘AURORA’ album – that feels like nature and mother earth. That comes really naturally to me. So I’m really enjoying doing something different. This is my third and a half album, and it’s about time in my mind to just play around and do something different.

Den handler om noe som eg tror vi alle syns e veldig, veldig viktig: Retten til å elske kem du vil. Asså kjærlighet e jo det eneste fine vi har her på jord. Og det e så rart at homoterapi, som det heter i Norge, e jo fortsatt lov i landet vårt. I vårt land, så det e jo helt grusomt. Så det e en sang om en slags protest mot det da. At vi burde få lov til å bare være den vi e. Det e jo dette ene liv vi har. Så det e jo sånn feiring.
