"Boten Anna" ("Anna the Bot") is a song by Swedish musician Basshunter, from his first studio album, LOL. Following the single's release in 2006, Basshunter gained popularity in his native Sweden, as well as Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Poland and the Netherlands. The song topped hit charts and, on 3 May 2006, was named Norway's official Russ-song[http://www.nrk.no/kanal/nrk_p3/5676470.html "Årets landeplage"], from NRK, accessed on 21 June 2006 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061108013409/http://www.nrk.no/kanal/nrk_p3/5676470.html |date=8 November 2006 }} of the year. It was also the most popular song at The Gathering LAN party 2006. An English version titled "Now You're Gone", sung by Sebastian Westwood, using unrelated lyrics, was released in December 2007.

In 2023 Basshunter collaborated with Victor Leksell on "Ingen kan slå (Boten Anna)". It peaked on Swedish singles chart at number four.

Lyrics and composition

The Swedish lyrics of "Boten Anna" tell the story of a female Internet Relay Chat user who the vocalist believes is a bot but later finds out to be a beautiful woman, although she will always remain a bot in his eyes.{{fact|date=July 2023}} The song is based on an actual experience of Basshunter. At the beginning of 2006 he created #basshunter.se channel in QuakeNet with the help of a fan. The fan created a bot with administrative capabilities; when this happened, Basshunter saw a new user with administrative capabilities named "Anna" enter the channel, and thought this was the bot. One day in March Basshunter returned home after playing at the club La Cocaracha in Halmstad. He and his friends played the computer game Counter-Strike while they were connected to the chat program mIRC. Basshunter typed a command into the command line to the bot to kick himself out of the channel. His drunk friend had taken control of the bot and kicked everyone out of the channel except for the two of them.{{cite web | url = https://www.hallandsposten.se/n%C3%B6je/musik/d%C3%A4rf%C3%B6r-hamnade-basshunter-i-arresten-i-laholm-1.27591420 | title = Därför hamnade Basshunter i arresten i Laholm | website = Hallandsposten | author = Benjamin Troff | date = 5 May 2020 | access-date = 15 July 2023 | language = sv | trans-title = Therefore, Basshunter ended up in custody in Laholm | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200621043519/https://www.hallandsposten.se/n%C3%B6je/musik/d%C3%A4rf%C3%B6r-hamnade-basshunter-i-arresten-i-laholm-1.27591420 | archive-date = 21 June 2020 | url-status = live}} Channel users started laughing. It turned out that Anna was the fan's girlfriend.

The artist stated that the song is easy to understand and sing, even when the person does not speak Swedish language. The Swedish word "bot" ("bot") was frequently mistaken for "boat" ("båt").{{cite web | url = https://www.smp.se/musik/fredag-kanner-en-bot | title = Fredag känner en bot | website = Smålandsposten | author = Sofie Petersson | date = 3 August 2012 | access-date = 15 July 2023 | language = sv | trans-title = Friday knows a bot}} The double meaning of the word "kanal" – which can refer to an IRC channel, as well as a water canal, added to the confusion.{{fact|date=January 2019}}

"Boten Anna" has a tempo of 140 beats per minute and is written in the key of A minor.{{cite web |title=Boten Anna | date=16 March 2018 |url=https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0182651 |publisher=Musicnotes |access-date=21 January 2019}}
