Björnzone are a fictional Swedish parody boy band supergroup created in 2024 by comedian Björn Gustafsson.[1] They debuted as an interval act for Melodifestivalen 2024, where they performed "Still the One", jokingly entering as a 13th entry for the competition's final in March. With Gustafsson as lead singer, Björnzone consists of ten members; the other nine are Adam Lundgren, Boris René, Casper Janebrink, Eric Saade, Filip Berg, Loa Falkman, Måns Zelmerlöw, Ulrik Munther and Victor Leksell.[2][3] All are established singers, with the exception of actors Lundgren and Berg.[2]
"Still the One" was written by Johan Carlsson, Rami Yacoub and Charlie Puth.[2] In an interview with Aftonbladet, Gustafsson said that he first reached out to Carlsson with the idea, who then got in touch with frequent collaborator Puth.[2] Following the Melodifestivalen final, the song was released onto digital music platforms as a solo recording as Gustafsson felt it was too complicated to deal with all the members' various record label agreements.[4] "Still the One" became one of the most-streamed songs on Spotify in Sweden, and peaked at number 15 on the Sverigetopplistan singles chart.[4][5] The performance of "Still the One" ended up as the most-watched YouTube video of 2024 in Sweden.[6]
On 29 November 2024, the group released "A Christmas Song", written by Johan Carlsson and Andreas Carlsson, through Sony Music, with proceeds going to Radiohjälpen.[7][8] Recording and filming was done in Los Angeles, United States, in September 2024, as a secret project with Sveriges Television (SVT).[9][10] The Christmas song was recorded at Henson Studios, the same studio where "We Are the World" was recorded.[7] "A Christmas Song" became the first Christmas song to debut atop the Svensktoppen chart and has peaked at number six on the Sverigetopplistan chart.[11][12] The song was the most-streamed 2024 Christmas song in Sweden, according to Spotify.[13] Björnzone 2.0, a documentary following the band as they record "A Christmas Song", was released by SVT on 25 December 2024.[14]
