Melodifestivalen is Sweden's national televised music competition to find the best new song of the year. The winner of the competition then goes on to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. Twenty-eight acts go through four Heats and two Semi Final Rounds before the top twelve go into the Grand Final of Melodifestivalen 2023, held once again at the Friends Arena in Solna (near Stockholm) in front of a live audience of almost 30000 spectators, plus millions of TV viewers both in Sweden and abroad.

On Saturday, 11 Mar 2023 Loreen won Melodifestivalen for a second time after winning already in  2012 with the song "Euphoria" and as history is repeating Loreen will be representing Sweden once more with the song "Tattoo".
