Johnson is today one of the most successful artists in Sweden, with several gold and platinum records.
Biography

Johnson is from the small town of Ängelholm in the south western part of Sweden, but the surroundings and the media compare her with the biggest stars in the music business. By the age of four, she had decided that she wanted to become an artist. She was highly encouraged by her local choir leader.
She now lives in a hunting lodge in the Western Gothlandic woods of Sweden, but also has a home in Stockholm.
As a 12-year old, she started off as vocalist in a Country & Western band, Tomboola Band, touring in Norway and Denmark. She signed eventually with EMI-Medley in Denmark and recorded an album, produced by top producer Paul Bruun. The title-track, Sugar Tree, became a hit in Denmark. In 1996, she had her first Swedish hit with Kommer tid, kommer vår”, a duet with Jan Johansen.
In 1998, she performed Kärleken är at Melodifestivalen, winning the Swedish finals and going on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest. This established Johnson as one of the prime Swedish artists. The success was followed by the hit album När hela världen ser på and a successful tour.
In mid 1999, Johnson went to L.A. to look for material for her second album. At home, she worked with Andreas Carlsson (ASCAP Writer of the Year 2000), who is known for several massive hits, the biggest , so far, being Celine Dion's That's the Way It Is. She also tried out a few local new-comers and the album Daughter of Eve was released in early 2000. It was very well received and Johnson was compared with some of the world's best artists.
In 2000, she received a platinum-record in Denmark for the sound-track Promise To Love from the Danish block-buster, "Eneste Ene". Later that year, Johnson started to collaborate with other songwriters such as Jenny Orenstein, Charlie Stefl, Mary Green [Biem Writer of the Year 2001]. This resulted in her receiving a Publishing contract in Nashville Tennessee. Consequently, in 2002 Johnson's album entitled "Good Girl" came to be with the help of producer Scott Bagget and some of Nashville’s top musicians. This album secured Johnson's artistic sound and style and once again she was extremely well received by the press in their reviews where she was described as an artist of International calibre.
In the Swedish finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 she qualified at fourth place (out of 32 entries) but and her song “Crazy in Love" became a hit and received a great deal of radio play and was followed by a successful tour.
Johnson's collective "Discography" CD was released in late March 2003. It contains the 20 most popular songs since her debut in 1995. This Cd went straight into the sales charts for best selling CDs in Sweden. The single “Crazy in Love” stayed at No 1 in the Swedish Top Charts (Svensktoppen) 12 weeks consecutively and No 2 for 15 weeks. "Discography" sold Gold in Sweden and Johnson also got a Grammy for this album.
The new album "Roots and Wings" was released in November 2003, recorded and produced by Amir Aly in Sweden and by Scott Baggett in Nashville, USA. "Roots and Wings" sold gold in less than two weeks and platinum a few months later. The album "Being who you are" was released in Sweden in late March 2005 and sold gold in only a few weeks. Johnson was the host of the 2005 Swedish finals of the Eurovison Song Contest in Stockholm

Steg upp på morgonen
Innan min dag var riktigt vaken
Oh vilken härlig dag

Smög mig på knä till sjön
För att få se dig bada naken
Oh vilken härlig dag

Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala

Såg du mig?
Såg du vem det var?

Jag hade satt mig ner
När du tog av dig dina kläder
Oh vilken härlig dag

Fick syn på svalorna
Dom kunde lova vackert väder
Oh vilken härlig dag

Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala

Såg du mig?
Såg du att det var jag?

Du låg på rygg o sög
ut saften från ett strå
Och du hade ingen annan
Än dig själv att tänka på

Men trodde du att
Du var ensam i det blå
Jag satt bakom och såg på
Aahh..
Jag vet att jag blev smått generad mmmm
Men jag tror även att även du var intresserad
Såg du mig?
Såg du att det var jag?

Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala

Såg du mig?
Såg du att det var jag?

Jag tror du hörde mig när du
Försvann in under kjolen
Oh vilken härlig dag

Så jag fick fly iväg och
Jag sprang naken bort mot solen
Oh vilken härlig dag

Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalalalalala

Lalalala lalalalalalala

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jill Johnson's song "Oh vilken härlig dag" depict a seemingly innocent morning ritual that turns into an unexpected encounter with someone dear. The singer wakes up early and secretly heads to the lake, hoping to witness this person bathing naked. She feels excited and joyful, marveling at the beauty of the day and nature that surrounds her. However, as the other person begins to explore themselves sexually, the singer becomes shy and embarrassed, but also intrigued at their actions. She wonders if the other person saw her watching and eventually runs away, feeling both exhilarated and awkward.

The song captures the fleeting, sensuous moments of youth and the thrill of discovering one's own and others' desires. It also touches upon the themes of secrecy, intimacy, and vulnerability. The lyrics suggest that the singer and the other person might share a mutual attraction, but the song ends with an open question, leaving us to wonder what happened next.

Och du hade ingen annan

Du var ensam i det blå
You were alone in the blue

Jag satt bakom och såg på

So I had to fly away and

Jag sprang naken bort mot solen
I ran naked towards the sun
