The song is written by Nanne Grönvall, Peter Grönvall and Maria Rådsten. They also form the pop group One More Time, and they recorded the song with English lyrics in 1997, called "Living in a Dream".
In 1999, Belgian artist Dana Winner recorded another English version of the song, now named "I'll Sing a Song Today", about nature.
In 2005, ten years after the original performance by Cecilia Vennersten, a cover version of the original lyrics was recorded by Swedish dansband and schlager singer Lotta Engberg on her album Kvinna & man.[1]
