"Det blir alltid värre framåt natten" - Björn Skifs

"It always gets worse late at night, far away from the light and all the laughter"

The Swedish Final was held on February 11th at Cirkus in Stockholm, hosted by Ulf Elfving. The winner was chosen by 11 regional juries. As there was a tie at the end of the voting, each jury had to vote again for one of the two tied songs - Björn Skifs won by 8 votes to 3.
