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.
Days of Summer
Ana Johnsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The whole world was waiting for me and my best friend
We'd sneak out and mess around, made up silly tunes
We sat by the bonfire staring at the moon
Where are the days of summer
On top of the world unstoppable
Where are the days of wonders
We ran for the rainbow, the wind through sun blond hair
Feeling so invincible
Where are the days of summer
On top of the world unstoppable
Where are the days of wonders
When nothing's impossible
Where are the days of summer
The taste of a coming miracle
Where are the days of wonders
When life was just beautiful
We laid down in the grass
Put our feet towards the sky
Pretending we could walk on clouds
Remember watching another rising sun
We promised each other to stay forever young
Where are the days
Where are the days of summer
On top of the world unstoppable
Where are the days of wonders
When nothing's impossible
Where are the days of summer
The taste of a coming miracle
Where are the days of wonders
When life was just beautiful
Where are the rays of sunshine
The road to a rising miracle
Where are the days of wonders
When nothing's impossible
In Ana Johnsson's song "Days of Summer," the lyrics reflect on a time in the past when the singer and her best friend were young and carefree during the summer months. The singer reminisces on the feeling of being on top of the world, with a sense of invincibility and wonder. The two friends would sneak out and create their own adventures, making up silly tunes and gazing up at the moon by a bonfire. The singer also recalls running through fields to catch rainbows and feeling unstoppable with the wind through their hair.
However, the singer seems to lament the fact that those days are gone and wonders where they went. She longs for the taste of a "coming miracle" and the days when "nothing's impossible." The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer and her friend made promises to one another to stay young forever but that reality has set in and they've grown apart. The message of the song is clear: we must cherish those moments of joy and wonder, because time passes quickly and those days of summer will soon fade into memory.
Overall, "Days of Summer" captures the nostalgia and bittersweet feelings that come with growing up and moving on from the carefree days of youth.

Remember a time when the summer'd never end
Think back to a time when summer seemed endless
The whole world was waiting for me and my best friend
We felt like the world was ours to explore, just me and my friend
We'd sneak out and mess around, made up silly tunes
We were carefree and playful, spending our days goofing around and creating music
We sat by the bonfire staring at the moon
We found joy in simple moments, like sitting by a fire and watching the moon
Where are the days of summer
What happened to those magical summer days?
On top of the world unstoppable
We felt unbeatable, like nothing could bring us down
Where are the days of wonders
When did life stop being filled with wonder and excitement?
When nothing's impossible
We used to believe that anything was within our reach
We ran for the rainbow, the wind through sun blond hair
We chased after our dreams with wild abandon, feeling the rush of the wind in our hair
Feeling so invincible
We were filled with confidence and energy
The taste of a coming miracle
The anticipation of something amazing on the horizon
When life was just beautiful
Life seemed so simple and full of beauty
We laid down in the grass
We found joy in the simple pleasures, like lying in the grass
Put our feet towards the sky
We imagined what it would be like to walk on clouds
Pretending we could walk on clouds
We had active imaginations and loved to pretend
Remember watching another rising sun
Thinking of a specific moment when we watched the sunrise together
We promised each other to stay forever young
We wanted to hold onto that carefree spirit forever
Where are the rays of sunshine
The brightness and warmth that used to fill our lives
The road to a rising miracle
The journey towards something incredible and special
