Äntligen (song)

"Äntligen" (English: "Finally") is a pop rock song by Swedish singer-songwriter Marie Fredriksson, released on 20 March 2000 by EMI as the lead single from her first greatest hits compilation album, Äntligen – Marie Fredrikssons bästa 1984–2000.[1] The track was written and produced by Fredriksson alongside her husband Mikael Bolyos,[2] and recorded at the couple's home studio in Djursholm.[3][4][5] The song was a minor hit in her home country upon release, peaking at number 34 and spending eight weeks on the Swedish Singles Chart.[6] A remixed version of the song, titled "Solen gick ner över stan" ("The Sun Went Down over the City"), appeared as the b-side; an edited version of this remix also appeared as a bonus track on the parent compilation.[4]
