The song “It Took Me by Surprise” is from Maria Mena’s 2011 album Viktoria. This song deals with abuse, something many artists do not usually include in their work. It tells the story of a psychologically abusive relationship, with the general modern day roles switched—in this relationship, the woman is the one at fault, abusing a male victim.
