Critical reception

"Resuscitate Me" received positive reviews from music critics, with many calling it September's comeback single. ScandiPop stated, "It's fantastic. And we can’t imagine any fan of September's previous output being disappointed by this. To our ears, it's up there with her best. It's the perfect return to form that we all wanted from her."[1] Jon O'Brien from AllMusic said, "'Resuscitate Me' is a glorious 'arms in the air' floor-filler, whose minimal melancholic opening builds up to a crescendo of epic soaring strings, irresistible synth riffs, and not just one, but two infectious choruses, which sound like Katy Perry's 'Firework' and David Guetta's 'When Love Takes Over' have collided into one uplifting monster of a tune."[3]

Chart performance

The song peaked at number 45 on Swedish singles chart and remained on the charts for two weeks.[4]

Music video

The music video was directed by Patric Ullaeus, who has also directed videos with Ace of Base, Dilba, A Touch of Class and Within Temptation.[1] In the video, September dies in a hospital, then returns as a ghost to watch over her boyfriend. She is shown dancing in Heaven and lying on a bed with her boyfriend. At the end of the video, she is defibrillated back to life and reunites with her boyfriend.
