In Sweden, Jessica reached the top of the single charts with two singles from her debut album; How Will I Know Who You Are and Tell Me What You like, both selling platinum.
In 2000, two years after releasing her debut album, Jessica Folcker's second album came out, called Dino, nicknamed after one of her producers. Besides Europe and Asia, Jessica wanted to conquer the USA as well this time around. However, since many Americans pronounced her surname similar to "fucker", she decided to change her name to Folker instead, without the c. Jessica's first single from the album, To Be Able To Love, became a minor hit in the states thanks to a remix by DJ Jonathan Peters, and soon Jessica went on a club tour to New York and New Jersey.
Jessica debuted in the Swedish national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005. In Melodifestivalen 2005, she performed Om natten. 2006 she tried again, participating in the third semi final heat of Melodifestivalen 2006 on March 4th with the song When Love's Comin' Back Again. She failed, however, to qualify for the semi final.

Ah
Dimman sänker sig ner
När vi närmar oss varann
Ingen hör ingen ser
Bara månen står i brand
Jag vet allt kan vända
När drömmen blir verklighet
Just nu vill jag vara
Just nu vill jag bara få stanna i min hemlighet
Om natten kommer känslan tillbaks till mig
Om natten kommer rädslan att mista dig
Om natten kommer längtan att somna
När skuggorna jagar mig
Glömmer bort tid och rum
Bara du och jag är här
Lämnar allt för en stund
Allting stannar där vi är
Jag vet allt kan hända
Jag vet allt kan vända
När drömmen blir verklighet
Just nu vill jag vara
Just nu vill jag bara få stanna i min hemlighet
Om natten kommer känslan tillbaks till mig
Om natten kommer rädslan att mista dig
Om natten kommer längtan att somna
När skuggorna jagar mig
Om natten kommer känslan tillbaks till mig
Om natten kommer rädslan att mista dig
Om natten kommer ängslan att vakna
När saknaden kväver mig
Vill för alltid va kvar
Stanna tiden en stund
Utan dig får jag inte en blund
Vill för alltid va kvar
Och förvandla en dröm till en ny verklighet
Om natten kommer känslan tillbaks till mig
Om natten kommer rädslan att mista dig
Om natten kommer längtan då kommer längtan
Att somna längtan att somna
När skuggorna jagar mig
Om natten kommer känslan tillbaks till mig
Om natten kommer rädslan att mista dig
Om natten kommer ängslan att vakna
När saknaden kväver mig
The lyrics to Jessica Folker's song "Om natten" (translated as "At Night") convey the longing and intimacy experienced during a passionate encounter at night. The song describes the atmosphere of the night, with fog descending and the feeling of approaching each other in secrecy. The lyrics suggest that in this moment, nothing else matters, with no one else seeing or hearing them, and the only thing that exists is their connection, symbolized by the moon standing on fire.
The singer acknowledges that anything can happen in this dream-like reality, and she is aware that everything can change in an instant. But in this present moment, she wants to stay in her secret realm. The chorus expresses the emotions that arrive at night: the feeling of having those emotions return, the fear of losing the person, and the longing to surrender to sleep. The shadows in the night symbolize the fears and anxieties that chase her.
The song alludes to escaping from the constraints of time and space, where only the singer and her loved one exist. She is willing to leave everything behind for just a moment and remain in that place. The lyrics express the desire to be with the person forever, to pause time, but without them, she cannot even close her eyes. She yearns for a new reality, where her dreams become real.
Overall, "Om natten" captures the intense feelings and desires experienced during a passionate nighttime encounter. The lyrics convey a sense of secrecy, longing, and the vulnerability of being consumed by love, while also acknowledging the fragility of such moments and the fear of losing it all.
