She became fed up with school and went to the US as an exchange student. She took up skiing as a hobby and is now a semi-professional snowboard artist. She competed and travelled around the US, and at one point she came in 5th and 6th place in a championship in 1996. Eventually she went back to Sweden in 2001, finished high school and started working at various jobs.
Her singing talents started when she was a teenager and became a singer of coverband @groove and moved to Karlstad.
But her big break started when she heard about the first season of Popstars in Sweden and decided to give it a go. She succeeded in the final and Ana, Jenny Karolina, Kristina Bergfoth, Malin Catharina Olsson and Susanna Emily Anna Patoleta formed the band Excellence. They were a huge success, sold many albums and completed a sold out tour.
However, [artist[Excellence[/artist] wasn't Ana's style of music and left the band. She continued her music career as a solo artist. In the autumn of 2003, she released "The Way I Am" on the radio and it developed into a radio hit in Sweden and Germany and it gave her a nomination for the 2004 NRJ Awards in Stockholm. She released her debut album Cuz I Can in 2004 soon after. This album was only released in Sweden.
She was approached by the head of Colombia Tristar during a cruise and was invited to contribute a song to the soundtrack of Spider-Man 2. The song was called "We Are" and it became the first single to come off the soundtrack and was released worldwide. It became a big hit and she released the album The Way I Am. The album was followed by the singles Don't Cry For Pain and Coz I Can
Ana recorded a new album in the mean time which was released in 2006. The first single, " Days Of Summer", was released in July 2006. The album, Little Angel (October 2006), was preceded by the second single called "Exception", which is the theme song to the Swedish thriller movie Exit. Johnsson also recorded a song with Finnish rockband Bleak for the soundtrack for the Finnish-Chinese film Jadesoturi (Jade Warrior) called "Fate". It became one of the most played songs on the radio in Finland and got the NRJ award for Best Nordic Song in 2007. "Catch Me If You Can", the album's third single, also was the official theme for the 2007 Alpine World Ski Championships. In February 2007 Johnsson released the album in Japan resulting into sales over 20,000.
A Song For Everyone
Ana Johnsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You really don't have a clue, So get lost.
(chorus)
Here is a song for everyone. I wanna let go and have some fun. Can't undo what can't be undone. So losing up it's time to get down . A song for everyone, if you don 't like it so what, I do.
Money makes the world go round, in the end its gonna bring us so down, so maybe if somebody stole your crown, you would let it go. Babapapadaa what the hell do I know, Keep on.
Here is a song for everyone. I wanna let go and have some fun. Can't undo what can't be undone. So losing up it's time to get down. A song for everyone, if you don't like it so what, I do
You say you want the best for me, and that you will do it all for free. Well I know that your talk is cheap, you want full control. Babapapadaa you never get what you want, so get lost.
(chorus)
Here is a song for everyone. I wanna let go and have some fun. Can't undo what can't be undone. So losing up it's time to get down. A song for everyone, if you don 't like it so what, I do
Here is a song for everyone. I wanna let go and have some fun. Can't undo what can't be undone. So losing up it's time to get down. A song for everyone, if you don 't like it so what.
The lyrics in "A Song for Everyone" by Ana Johnsson are about breaking free from the pressures and expectations of others, and choosing to do what makes one happy. The opening lines suggest that someone is trying to impose their ideas on the singer, telling her what she should do and who she should be. However, the singer disagrees, and thinks that the person suggesting these ideas is clueless. The repetition of "babapapadaa" emphasizes the pointlessness of this conversation and the singer's desire to move on.
The chorus, then, is a celebration of that desire to let go and have fun. The phrase "losing up" in place of "loosening up" could be a deliberate choice that suggests a more carefree, informal tone. The repetition of the phrase "song for everyone" emphasizes that this is a universal message, not just a personal one. The line "if you don't like it so what, I do" could be seen as empowering, since it reinforces the idea that the singer is choosing to do what she likes, regardless of other people's opinions.
The second verse reinforces the idea that money and power can be corrupting forces, which strip people of their true selves. The singer suggests that if someone's crown (symbolic of their power) were stolen, then they might realize that this loss wasn't as important as they originally thought. The repetition of "babapapadaa" again suggests that the singer doesn't have all the answers, and is ok with that.
Overall, "A Song for Everyone" is a message of empowerment, encouraging people to let go of others' expectations and just have fun. The lyrics are catchy and repetitive, which reinforces the idea that this is a universal message that anyone can relate to.
