They're one of the participants of the Melodiefestivalen 2026. This is going to be their first original song in more than twenty years after their break-up and it's set to be released on January 30.

Oh God yes, I never thought I'd see the day!

Hope it delivers 🙏

Although they're more A*Adults than A*Teens now, I don't care because I also was waiting for this for so long. Aside the lip synching, their Melodifestivalen 2024 comeback performance was incredible and a great return of them in my opinion, so it's great that they're recording and releasing new stuff now.

Available to pre-save on streaming platforms here.

Just listening to this now... its a bop!

I like it, but for me the vocals are a little drowned out by the music.

Christ, this sounds very dated.

We'll have to disagree, it just sounds like generic pop from two decades ago.

Oh they'll be delighted with the commercial reception, almost guaranteed top five hit in Sweden in the bag and a spot in the Melodifestivalen final. Iconic.

Hope that encourages them to stick around.

What a BANGER.

I'll post all of my Melfest thoughts in the thread but for this song alone - it feels like the team behind A*Teens have studied "the Steps comeback" to a tee because this really could be a Steps song (and who knows, maybe it will be in the future, they love to mine Melfest songs!), right down to the neon styling. But, it makes complete sense. The song does still feel fun and playful, which is what the A*Teens brand feels like it should be and it's just a great Swedish pop song. It won't win, nor should it really, but it's spot on for what their comeback should feel like imo.

And Sara in particular was FEELING IT with those hair whips, ooft!

Ooh listening to this felt like the last 20 - 25 years didnt happen for 3 minutes 🙌🙌 such a bop could say its ICONIC .

Shame it won't do anything in the UK

Wow. This is amazing! If they get selected for Eurovision, it's a shame it's this year because I couldn't see a world where I wouldn't have been completely behind this.
