Joner was born and raised in Norway. She started to dance hip hop when she was 14. In 2007, she was on Season 2 of "Dansefeber", which is the Norwegian version of "So You Think You Can Dance." She was eliminated in week 8, finishing in the top 6. In 2008 she did the Norwegian version of a "Grease" (singing competition).
In 2010, in an odd turn of events, Joner was threatened and bitten by a Cuban diplomat, Carmen Julia Guerra, while outside of the Cuban embassy in Oslo. She was partaking in a non-violent demonstration in remembrance of Orlando Zapata Tamayo, a Cuban political activist who died during a hunger strike in a Havana prison.
Joner has been in several american music videos:
- "Eenie Meenie" Justin Bieber & Sean Kingston,
- "Soul Bossa Nosstra" Quincy Jones & Ludacris
- "Shut them up" J- Lewis
- "Freaky like me" Madcon
- "In the morning" J.cole & Drake.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep it at night and
Burn out the sky like lightning
And I just cant control it
We chasing waterfalls and
Im lovin, that im hatin
HEY!
Our rythm keeps on playing¨
HEY!
Im a rollercoaster ride with you
You know you take me higher
oh, oh
You know we'll run like fire
Yeah, we go high up, high up
Yeah, we go high up, high up
You know you take me higher
Kili-kili-kilimanjaro
We got a love so twisted
You got me so addicted
Like a drug I needed
Our love is bleeding and
Im lovin, that im hatin
HEY!
The way that you tear me up
Our rythm keeps on playing¨
HEY!
Im a rollercoaster ride with you
You know you take me higher
oh, oh
You know we'll run like fire
Yeah, we go high up, high up
Yeah, we go high up, high up
You know you take me higher
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

The lyrics to "Kilimanjaro" by Alexandra Joner describe a passionate, intense relationship that is both exhilarating and destructive. The lines "You, me / Keep it at night and / Burn out the sky like lightning" suggest that the relationship is secretive and thrilling. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "You know you take me higher," reinforces the idea that this relationship pushes the singer to new heights. However, the lines "Im lovin, that im hatin / The way that you tear me up / Our rhythm keeps on playing / Im a rollercoaster ride with you" suggest that the relationship is also volatile and unhealthy. The metaphor of a rollercoaster ride implies that the highs are accompanied by nauseating drops and twists. The line "Our love is bleeding" suggests that this relationship is leaving wounds and scars.
Overall, "Kilimanjaro" portrays a relationship that is both thrilling and dangerous. The singer is addicted to the highs of the relationship but aware of its darker aspects. The repeated refrain of "Kili-kili-kilimanjaro" reinforces the idea of reaching new heights and taking risks with this intense love affair.

I was typing for another song by the name Kilimanjaro(Telugu) in the Wynk music app. This one pops up. I play it and keep playing it as its catchy and good.
