"Aldrig mer" (Swedish: [ˈâldrɪ(ɡ) ˈmeːr]; transl. "Never Again") is a song by Swedish singer and songwriter Clara Klingenström. The song was released as a single on 17 February 2024 and competed in Melodifestivalen 2024.[1]
Background and composition[edit]
"Aldrig mer" was written by Klingenström, together with Bobby Ljunggren and David Lindgren Zacharias. They also produced the song together with David Zandén.[2] In an interview, Klingenström spoke of the song's development: "We all met at [Ljunggren]’s house. [Zacharias] and [Ljunggren] had made a melody that I got to listen to and it was the melody for the chorus of this song. After that we started making the melody for the rest of the song. I took the melody home with me and wrote the lyrics. I always want to write the lyrics myself because of the storytelling in my songs."[3]
Klingenström described the song as a follow-up to her previous Melodifestivalen entry, "Behöver inte dig idag". She basically described the song as an expression of her feelings when writing the lyrics of the song.[4]
Melodifestivalen 2024[edit]
On 1 December 2023, it was announced that the song will be competing in Melodifestivalen 2024, Sweden's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[5] The song was drawn to compete in the third heat on 17 February 2024, but failed to qualify to the final.[6]
