/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The fourth heat of Melodifestivalen 2025, will take place on Saturday, 22 February, at Malmö Arena, Malmö.

Until then, the Swedish national broadcaster, SVT, released the lyrics of all six competing songs, of this upcoming heat.

You can read the lyrics of the competing songs down below:

  • Andreas Lundstedt – Vicious

My heart’s in danger when your body moves

Dancing with strangers all I see is you

Can’t even say the things I wanna do

Little bit vicious (uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

Look in your eyes

See trouble

You’re telling me you play a hazardous game

But baby I

See double

My evil twin inside could tell you the same

I know you a big mistake

But I can’t stay away

My heart’s in danger when your body moves

Dancing with strangers all I see is you

Can’t even say the things I wanna do

Little bit vicious (uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

My heart’s in danger when your body moves

Dancing with strangers all I see is you

Can’t even say the things I wanna do

Little bit vicious (uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh)

Synchronized

In rhythm

You’re hypnotizing me up to ecstasy

I’ll take a bite

Of heaven

Cuz you’ve been bringing out the devil in me

I know you a big mistake

But I can’t stay away

My heart’s in danger when your body moves

Dancing with strangers all I see is you

Can’t even say the things I wanna do

Little bit vicious (uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

Electric in the dark

So toxic light the spark

Those hot lips leave a mark

But never stop

I know you a big mistake

But I can’t stay away

My heart’s in danger when your body moves

Dancing with strangers all I see is you

Can’t even say the things I wanna do

Little bit vicious (uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

Vicious

Oh oh o-oh

Little bit vicious (uh-huh uh-huh)

  • Ella Tiritiello – Bara du är där

Bruka vara rädd för att bli sårad

Brukar vilja fly när något triggar mig

Räkna upp till tre

Andas, varva ner

Men ända sen den dagen du kom

Kan det lysa, kan det va storm

När mina sår har läkt

Kan du få riva upp ett efter ett

Jag kan gå sönder

Ligga ner på marken, förblöder

Dansa i ett mörker med

Aska som konfettiregn

Bara du är där

Bara du

Jag kan krossas

Göra de på riktigt, inte låtsas

Spränga mina gränser och krascha ner med huvudet först

Bara du är där

Bara du är där

Mitt hjärta det är lindat i din taggtråd

Det hugger varje gång du knyter hårdare

Men jag är inte rädd

Hur skulle jag kunna va rädd med dig

Om det måste rasa ner

Så ska jag låta väggarna rämna

Och när mina sår har läkt

Kan du få riva upp ett efter ett

Jag kan gå sönder

Ligga ner på marken, förblöder

Dansa i ett mörker med

Aska som konfettiregn

Bara du är där

Bara du

Jag kan krossas

Göra de på riktigt, inte låtsas

Spränga mina gränser och krascha ner med huvudet först

Bara du är där

Bara du är där

Bara du är där

Kan jag krossas, gå sönder

Bara du är där

Vet du har mig som jag håller dig

Men ända sen den dagen du kom

Kan det lysa, kan det va storm

När mina sår har läkt

Kan du få riva upp ett efter ett

Jag kan gå sönder

Ligga ner på marken, förblöder

Dansa i ett mörker med

Aska som konfettiregn

Bara du är där

Bara du

Jag kan krossas

Göra de på riktigt, inte låtsas

Spränga mina gränser och krascha ner med huvudet först

Bara du är där

Bara du är där

You left me here to decay

I say

Do good be be be better

The host country of Eurovision 2024, Sweden is aiming for a record-breaking eighth win, and SVT has promised a spectacular edition of its most beloved music show to make that happen. With exciting new format changes and a diverse lineup of artists, this year’s Melodifestivalen has already sparked major interest across the Eurovision community.

Melodifestivalen 2025: The New Format

This year, the format has been revamped:

  • 5 Heats instead of 4, with 6 acts competing in each.
  • The top 2 from each heat will qualify directly for the Grand Final.
  • The 3rd-place acts from each heat will enter a second-chance vote after Heat 5, where 2 more finalists will be chosen.

In total, 12 acts will perform in the Grand Final on March 9.

Voting:

  • In the heats, the result is 100% decided by the public.
  • In the final, a 50/50 split will apply: Swedish televote combined with the votes of an international jury, following the Eurovision format.

Melodifestivalen 2025 Schedule

Sweden: Sanna Nielsen live on the Third Heat of Melodifestivalen 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

As Melodifestivalen arrives in Västerås, it’s time for yet another Mello icon to be inducted into the Melodifestivalen Hall of Fame.

Sanna Nielsen has a lot of experience with the contest and has participated at least seven times since her debut in 2001. When she won in 2014 with the song “Undo”, she showed that it is never too late to give up on her hopes and dreams, taking third place in the Eurovision Song Contest.

She says:

“It is a great honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame because Melodifestivalen means so much to me. When I was little, I dreamed of standing on this stage once, but at the time I didn’t know that it would be seven times as a contestant. I am grateful for every year and I look back on them with such joy. Melodifestivalen has developed me as an artist and opened doors to other fun experiences, and it is a chapter that I am incredibly proud of.”

During the third heat  in Västerås, Sanna will perform a compilation that pays tribute to her seven entries in the contest. Among others, the winning entry “Undo“, the power ballad “Empty Room” and the entries in 2007 and 2011 will be performed.

The schedule for the six shows of the Melodifestivalen 2025 tour:

  • Heat 1: Saturday 1 February 2025, Coop Norrbotten Arena, Luleå
  • Heat 2: Saturday 8 February 2025, Scandinavium, Göteborg
  • Heat 3: Saturday 15 February 2025, ABB Arena Syd, Västerås
  • Heat 4: Saturday 22 February 2025, Malmö Arena, Malmö
  • Heat 5: Saturday 1 March 2025, Husqvarna Garden, Jönköping

Sweden: The general rehearsal of the Third Heat of Melodifestivalen 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The general rehearsal of the 2nd Heat of Melodifestivalen 2025 has just come to an end at Västerås and the ABB Arena. We are happy to be watching it live through the virtual accreditation and we will be covering this rehearsal, describing in detail what is happening during the show, for you to follow the entire process.

The show

First appearance of the third heat, that of the debutant Greczula. He begins his appearance by performing on a flying piano, which ends up in the center of the stage. A song that reminds us quite a bit of “Queen” and a very special participation, one of those we are not used to from Sweden. Greczula is a quite charismatic performer and the big favorite of the semi-final.

For the fourth time, Malou Prytz returns to the Melodifestivalen stage. This time with a different style, a more modern and perhaps more complete proposal. In rehearsals, she faced several problems with her vocal performance, something we hope will change in tomorrow’s semi-final. On stage, we see a construction with golden beads used by herself and the six dancers who accompany her, while the staging is reminiscent of the beginning of last year’s winning appearance at Melodifestivalen. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will be in the top three places in tomorrow’s heat.

Next on stage is the Tik toker, Björn Holmgren, with a mid tempo track entirely in Swedish! His stage appearance is based on props, such as waiting chairs and a wall with a clock! Vocally he is quite good but the road to tomorrow’s top 3 looks difficult!

  • Dolly Style – “YIHAA” 

The girl group returns to Melodifestivalen for a fourth chance to win, but this time with a country twist! This is a high energy performance, yet in the campy style we have loved from them. The song is extremely catchy, the staging looks effective and super memorable. This will definitely stand out tomorrow, but is this enough to earn them a top 3 place?

Next on stage is Angelino, in a song in which the 2021 Swedish representative, Tusse, also participates as composer. A fairly dark and modern appearance, while he himself is quite stable on the vocals. At first he is alone on the stage with very fast shots, while later 6 dancers appear. Intense choreography and a lot of play with the changing colors of the LEDs! Maybe it will be tomorrow’s surprise in the third semi-final!

Our beloved Annika Wickihalder returns this year with a different proposal compared to last year. Dressed in earthy shades this time compared to yesterday’s green dress! Behind her we have sails that constantly change shapes and she is accompanied by dancers in the second part of the song! Vocally she is very good and receives the second biggest applause from the arena after Dolly Style!

A prediction

After watching the general rehearsal, I personally believe that Annika Wickihalder and Greczula will go directly to final and Malou Prytz will remain in the contest for another chance after the end of heat 5!

The schedule for the six shows of the Melodifestivalen 2025 tour:

  • Heat 1: Saturday 1 February 2025, Coop Norrbotten Arena, Luleå
  • Heat 2: Saturday 8 February 2025, Scandinavium, Göteborg
  • Heat 3: Saturday 15 February 2025, ABB Arena Syd, Västerås
  • Heat 4: Saturday 22 February 2025, Malmö Arena, Malmö
  • Heat 5: Saturday 1 March 2025, Husqvarna Garden, Jönköping
  • Final: Saturday 8  March 2025,Strawberry Arena, Stockholm

Which two of today’s competing artists do you think will be the direct qualifiers to the finals, on the 9th of March?

Meanwhile, the Swedish national broadcaster, SVT, released the lyrics of all six competing songs, of this upcoming heat.

You can read the lyrics of the competing songs down below:

  • Greczula – “Believe Me”

There was a boy

Caught in a dream

Sailing on Saturn’s rings

(Aaaah aaaah)

Open your eyes

Look at the stars, looking so lonely

It’s lonely at the top

But it’s beautiful from far away

From far away

You best believe me

(Best believe me)

You never know a good thing until it’s gone

It’s so easy

(It’s so easy)

You could have been here dancing all along

(Could have been here dancing all along)

Some people stay

Some people won’t

So love them before they go

Open your eyes

Open your heart, you know it gets lonely

It’s lonely on this rock

But there’s beauty all around this place

In every face

You best believe me

(Best believe me)

You never know a good thing until it’s gone

(Never know, never know)

It’s so easy

(It’s so easy)

You could have been here dancing all along

Yeah

Best believe me

It’s so easy

Best believe me

It’s so easy

It’s so easy

You best believe me

(Best believe me)

You never know a good thing until it’s gone

(Never know, never know)

It’s so easy

(It’s so easy)

You could have been here dancing all along

(Could have been here dancing all along)

You never know a good thing until it’s gone

You could have been here dancing all along

_____________________________________________________

  • Malou Prytz – “24K Gold”

It’s what I’m made of

But I was afraid of

My inner brightness

I could be priceless

Good girls don’t speak up

March to the beat of

Somebody else’s

Drum and I felt it

Was trying to be somebody

That wasn’t me, you know

I had to leave the party

To meet myself and now I know

I got that afterglow

It’s like I’m made of gold

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

I feel so art nouveau

High tea in Tokyo

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

I got that afterglow

It’s like I’m made of gold

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

I feel so art nouveau

High tea in Tokyo

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

I’m feeling frosty

Like I’m so costly

Girl in the mirror

I see you clearer

Was trying to be somebody

That wasn’t me you know

I had to leave the party

To meet myself and now I know

I got that afterglow

It’s like I’m made of gold

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

I feel so art nouveau

High tea in Tokyo

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

Let me show you

I was born to

Lose control

Maybe now

You’ll see that

I am made of gold

I got that afterglow

It’s like I’m made of gold

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

I got that afterglow

It’s like I’m made of gold

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

I feel so art nouveau

High tea in Tokyo

Don’t need no daylight

Or midnight

Cause I’m 24 carat gold

  • Björn Holmgren – “Rädda mig”

Du har räddat mig minst hundra gånger

Visat vägen när jag varit svag

Jag växte upp först när jag kände sorgen

Du var där, alltid där, kom tillbaks

Nu vill jag rädda dig

Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser

Bära dig i famnen när du inte springer mer

Torka dina tårar, fånga när de faller ner

Jag ska va ditt hjärta, när du inte känner det

För du har räddat mig

Räddat, räddat mig

Du har räddat, räddat mig

Marken under mig får gärna rasa

Molnen kan bli mörka för ett tag

För jag vill bara att du ska få vakna

Att du är här, alltid här, stanna kvar

Jag vill rädda dig

Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser

Bära dig i famnen när du inte springer mer

Torka dina tårar, fånga när de faller ner

Jag ska va ditt hjärta, när du inte känner det

För du har räddat mig

Utan att försöka

Utan att förstå

Ja du har räddat mig

Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser

Bära dig i famnen

Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser

Bära dig i famnen när du inte springer mer

Torka dina tårar, fånga när de faller ner

Jag ska va ditt hjärta, när du inte känner det

För du har räddat mig

Räddat, räddat mig

Du har räddat, räddat mig

Räddat, räddat mig

Jag ska vara dina ögon

Du har räddat, räddat mig

Jag ska bära dig i famnen

För du har räddat, räddat mig

  • Angelino – “Teardrops”

There you go

Spreading lies down on me

I don’t mind

You do you and I do me

You walked out through the door

Without a warning

Told me, babe I’ll be back in the morning

Like you’ve done

A million times before

You were taking the lead

Of our love and I’d follow

Made me believe

Though my heart was hollow

Played a saint

But you came down as a sinner

So go ahead now

Go ahead now

I see you’re crying in the rain

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

So save them for another day

Like teardrops fall from heaven

I see you’re crying in the rain

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

So save them for another day

Like teardrops fall from

Heaven heaven heaven

Fall from heaven heaven

Teardrops fall from

Heaven heaven heaven

Fall from heaven

Heaven

All the things

We never did, we’ll never do

Bet you thought I would be lost

Without you

You were taking the lead

Of our love and I’d follow

Made me believe

Though my heart was hollow

Played a saint

But you came down as a sinner

So go ahead now

Go ahead now

Oooh, I see you’re crying in the rain

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

So save them for another day

Like teardrops fall from heaven

I see you’re crying in the rain

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

So save them for another day

Like teardrops fall from

Heaven heaven heaven

Fall from heaven heaven

Teardrops fall from

Heaven heaven heaven

Fall from heaven

Heaven

Teardrops fall from heaven

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

Not today

Oooh, I see you’re crying in the rain

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

So save them for another day

Like teardrops fall from heaven

I see you’re crying in the rain

No angel’s gonna feel your pain

So save them for another day

Like teardrops fall from

Heaven heaven heaven

Fall from heaven heaven

Teardrops fall from

Heaven

Teardrops fall from Heaven

  • Annika Wickihalder – “Life Again”

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

I run through the darkness ’til I’m out of breath

(Start to see it, start to believe it)

I promised myself to hold on ’til the end

(Start to see it, start to believe it)

A new day is dawning

And I can see colors again

The blue skies, the green grass

Repainting my world as they blend

I can feel it coming

I can feel it coming in the air

And I keep on falling

Falling in love with life again

I can feel it coming

I can feel it coming in the air

And I keep on falling

Falling in love with life again

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Falling in love with life again

I’m thanking the rain ’cause it washed off my pain

(Start to see it, start to believe it)

The drums of the thunder are leading my way

(Start to see it, start to believe it)

A new day is dawning

And I can see colors again

I can feel it coming

I can feel it coming in the air

And I keep on falling

Falling in love with life again

I can feel it coming

I can feel it coming in the air

And I keep on falling

Falling in love with life again

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Falling in love with life again

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

(A new day is dawning)

I made it through the night

(A new day is dawning)

I’ve waited for the light

(A new day is dawning)

And I can see colors again

I can feel it coming

I can feel it coming in the air

And I keep on falling

Falling in love with life again

I can feel it coming

I can feel it coming in the air

And I keep on falling

Falling in love with life again

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Falling in love with life again
