"När vi två blir en" (When we two become one), written by Per Gessle, also known by the refrain's opening line "Jag vill känna din kropp emot min", is a song with lyrics describing teenage love, released as a single on 29 October 1980 by pop group Gyllene Tider. Göran Fritzson wrote the Farfisa intro and the hook.[1] Gyllene Tider also recorded the song with lyrics in English, as "Beating Heart", releasing it as a promotional single on 1 September 1981 using the group name Modern Times.
