The 2012 winner is a strong candidate to repeat the result this year. However, in a press conference after the semi-final, Loreen addmited that she first denied to return to the Swedish national selection… before she decided to participate:
Loreen: “Honestly, I never thought in my wildest dream… sometimes you think where you’re heading in life, but you don’t know. Anyway, there was the song that came to me and I fell in love with the song and I was asked the question: so, do you want to be in the Melodifestivalen? I’m like: «Oh, my God, no!». I honestly said no, because, «can I give you guys something?». But then, when I saw how happy the people around me became whenever I said «maybe I’ll do it» – and I’m a peoples person – I’m like, you know… I want to connect to people through creativity, so I took a leap of faith, I went where it was flowing, this is a nice energy, I go this way. And then I went”.
