Sigrid Bernson has dreamed of participating in Melodifestivalen since childhood and it finally came to fruition in 2018. The song's melody and rhythmic arrangement is rather derivative and the backing vocals are amped up so high to the point that you can often barely hear Sigrid herself. But the positive aspects include the cohesive colour scheme (Sigrid's favourite colour of yellow is interwoven throughout every aspect of the number), as well as Sigrid's charisma which translates well on camera. It's a pity they didn't capitalise more on her dancing capabilities. Regardless of her intention to establish herself as a singer instead of just a dancer, when in a contest such as this it's a missed opportunity to stand out with something hardly any of her fellow competitors would be able to do for their own entries.
