Anna Bergendahl

Anna Bergendahl, Sweden's new pop princess, was born and raised in Nyköping, a small town not far from Stockholm and will represent her native country in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.

Her parents early recognized Anna’s love for music and bought her first guitar when she was only eight. She started to write her first songs at the age of ten. She was one of the competitors in the Swedish TV-show Super Troupers performing a very personal version of Wild Cherry’s classic hit Play That Funky Music. In 2008 she auditioned for the Swedish Idol performing the Bonnie Raitt song Have A Heart and the jury instantly praised her and her vocal abilities. Later on, she became a huge hit in the Swedish download charts.



After Idol  Anna was of course contacted by a number of record companies: everyone wanted to sign her!   However it was the intimate and professional feeling Lionheart International gave her that made her make her decision to sign both a record, publishing and management deal with them.



On Saturday the 13th of March, in front of nearly 4 million viewers, the Swedish people voted Anna to be the one who should represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo with a landslide victory with her song This Is My Life. The song has since then reached No.1 in all Swedish charts.

Lyrics of This Is My Life

I'd go
Down the beaten track

Long the river
With an empty bag

At the end
She said to me

Why are you here
With the autumn leaves?

Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend
And I can't be
No one else

I'm done
Tipping on my toes

Striking iron
And attack my soul

Misty moon
You're gonna see

I've got your blues
To get on my feet

Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend
And I can't be
No one else

I don't wanna run
I don't wanna fight

I don't wanna hide
I just wanna stay free
To be me

I don't wanna win
I don't wanna lose

I don't wanna play
I just wanna remember
My name

Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend
And I can't be
No one else

Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend
And I can't be
No one else

This is my life, my friend
