With lyrics in Swedish by Per Gessle, the song was recorded in 1980 by Gyllene Tider, as "Skicka ett vykort, älskling".[1] Finnish version of the song "Kirjoita postikorttiin" was recorded by Muska as her debut single in 1971 and first hit song.[2] "Send Me a Postcard" was covered by Loog on their 1995 album Meltdown House, but was generally unknown in the US until Ladytron's Softcore Jukebox compilation was released in 2003. In 2014, it was re-released as a 7" single for Record Store Day. Bob Mould covered the song for his 2019 album Sunshine Rock.
