a day

When we will find our way

Violins playing and the angels crying

When the stars align then I’ll be there

No, I don't care about them all

Cause all I want is to be loved

And all I care about is you

You stuck on me like a tattoo

No, I don't care about the pain

I’ll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You stuck on me like a tattoo

I'm letting my hair down I'm taking it cool

You got my heart in your hand

Don't lose it my friend, it's all that I got

And now violins playing and the angels crying

When the stars align then I’ll be there

No, I don't care about them all

Cause all I want is to be loved

And all I care about is you

You stuck on me like a tattoo

No, I don't care about the pain

I’ll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You stuck on me like a tattoo

Oh, I don't care about them all

Cause all I want is to be loved

And all I care about is you

You stuck on me like a tattoo

I don't care about the pain

I’ll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You stuck on me like a tattoo

All I care about is love Oh oh oh

All I care about is love

You stuck on me like a tattoo

Supported by the singer Måns Zelmerlöw Loreen appeared in 2011 on "Melodifestivalen", the Swedish Eurovision Finals. Her song My Heart Is Refusing Me was written by her, and Bjorn Djupström Denebi Moh. In the second semi-final on 12 February 2011 she placed fourth, but qualified for the "Andra Chansen", a second-chance round in which she was eliminated. My Heart Is Refusing Me placed ninth in the Swedish charts.

2012 Loreen returned to Melodifestivalen, this time with Euphoria, a song writen by Thomas G: son and Peter Boström. One could say "the rest is history": Representing Sweden, she won the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 and topped the charts in numerous European countries.

After an unsuccessful attempt at the Melodifestivalen 2017 with her song Statements it was announced on 30 November 2022, that Loreen would compete in Melodifestivalen for a fourth time with the song Tattoo. She won the fourth heat of the competition, allowing her to progress to the final on 11 March 2023. She later won the competition with 177 points, thus becoming the Swedish representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool.
