According to Song Facts, Vega explained in 1987 on Swedish Television, that a few years ago, she used to see this group of children playing. There was one whose name was Luka, who seemed different from the other children. She always remembered his name and face. She didn't know much about him, but only that he just seemed different from the other children playing. His character was what she based the song 'Luka' on. In the song, the boy Luka is an abused child. In real life she didn't think he was but she thought he was just different.

I live on the second floor”
