"What's in It for Me" is a song by Swedish singer and actress Amy Deasismont, released under her stage name, Amy Diamond. The song was written by Grizzly, Tommy Typser, and Mack and was produced by the former two. Deasismont recorded the song when she was 12 years old, after winning a national radio talent competition.[2] It was included on her first studio album, This Is Me Now, as the second track.[1] The single was released in Scandinavia in March 2005, eventually topping the charts of Sweden and Norway. On 19 September 2005, it was released in continental Europe, where it topped the Polish Airplay Chart and also charted in Germany and the Netherlands. The song remains Deasismont's biggest hit.
In a review of the song's parent album on AllMusic, K. Ross Hoffman wrote that the most unsettling line in the song was "You can't have this candy / And keep one foot outside the door", noting Amy Deasismont's young age. However, he called the song one of the album's highlights, citing Deasismont's "sassy" delivery and describing it as "swaggering" and "utterly infectious". He went on to write, "Once you get used to the idea that her character in this song is just that — a role she's playing, like the hammy, scene-stealing kid actor she was brought up to be — you have to admit that she's got the chops to give a fully convincing performance".[1]

It dropped to number two on 28 April, then slowly moved down the listing until leaving the top 60 for the final time on 1 December.[4] At the end of the year, the single came in at number three on Sweden's year-end chart,[5] and it was certified platinum by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF) on 15 June 2005 for shipping over 20,000 copies.[6]
