Elin has danced since she was seven years old. But then she injured her knee and decided to go for the music. Her dad was laying a floor for the director of the record company Rodeo Records. At that time Elin recorded some songs and gave them to the director.
In 2006 she participated in the TV show "Rampfeber", on Sweden's TV4 and sang duets with Runar Sörgaard.
Elin also participated in the first heat of Melodifestivalen 2007 with the song 'Money'. She made the second chance, but did not reach the final.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i m losing IQ because of you
you keep my head together because of you
i m a washed up loser just because of you
ive no money because of you

Her boyfriend left at the beginning - you hear the door closing and the car driving away. At the end he comes back, you hear the door opening, and she goes to meet him with an axe... Love made her stupid...
