About the song[]
The song was written by Duran Duran, who also produced the track with Chris Kimsey.
Simon Le Bon commented "We went into a barn in Sussex and started jamming away, and before we got finished, it was like, 'Right we've got the album, let's go and record it now.' And I don't think we got it right; I don't think we were paying enough attention. We were quite self-conscious at the time as well, the way things had been going, and it kind of made us stand outside of ourselves to do the album. But out of that came two of the best songs Duran's ever come up with, "Serious" and "My Antarctica", they're really, really beautiful songs.

Lyrics[]
Once ago, when I was in control, But that was just, another trick of fate Playing with my life There have been some times, I was so tied up and I said to myself, Gotta break it all, but didn't really try Two hearts beating in this place you've made - You know nothing changes... Oooh my antarctica. You can make your rhymes And paint your rules in black and white For me to memorize, but never understand. And there will be time, for a thousand vows And a thousand promises we forgot, to be realized Two hearts beating in this place you've made - You know nothing changes... Oooh my antarctica. One life pumping, we make love to make our heat And we throb in... my antarctica. (oh-oh oohh ohh ohh) We'll keep the rhythm going, and we remember. We'll keep the laughter flowing, and we remember. We let the music jangle, and we remember. Two hearts beating in this place you make - You know nothing changes... Oooh my antarctica. One life pumping, we make love to make our heat And we throb in... Oooh my antarctica. Cause and shelter, this is what we've made - You know I will stay here... Oooh in antarctica And you will stay here, with me...
