Satan i gatan (Swedish for Satan in the Street, a rhyming, idiomatic expression of mild surprise) is the third studio album released by Swedish singer and songwriter Veronica Maggio. It was released in Sweden on 27 April 2011 through Universal Music AB and debuted at number one on the Swedish Albums Chart. The title is a Swedish expression which generally means "damn". The album follows on from her 2006 debut Vatten & bröd and her 2008 follow-up Och vinnaren är.... The album was recorded and produced by Maggio in the studio of Christian Walz in Östermalm, Stockholm. Maggio wrote all the lyrics, a process that took almost a year, whereas all music was written by Christian Walz, except for "Vi kommer alltid ha Paris" the music of which was composed by Markus Krunegård.
The album contains eleven tracks, with a bonus track available via iTunes called "Vad gör vi ikväll", a song written by Maggio, Walz and Krunegård. Also on 18 April 2011, Maggio invited Maggio fans to download the song "Välkommen in" from the album through the telephone operator Comviq. The song "Alla mina låtar" (meaning All my songs) resulted in speculation among music reviewers as being a response to her former boyfriend Oskar Linnros' song "Från och med du" (meaning "Starting [with] you", a play of words on the phrase "Starting now") when Linnros had sung "... one is broken, one is yours, this is the end of our movie." Maggio counters this with singing "You are crushed and I go free, it's all about you".
The song "Välkommen in" incorporates lyrics from Lucio Battisti's "La canzone del Sole".
