Loreen first rose to fame in Sweden when she took part in Swedish Idol 2004, where she finished in fourth place. From there, she started to release music and appear on Swedish TV programmes.

After a brief hiatus, she returned to the public eye for Melodifestivalen 2011, which she won, before going on to win Eurovision 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
