In 2002, Melody Club received a record deal that marked their breakthrough in the music industry. Their song "Palace Station" achieved considerable success, especially in Germany, cementing their position in the industry. This single served as the breakthrough they needed and was followed by the release of their debut album, "Music Machine," which achieved gold certification. The album's success led to a European tour, further expanding their reach and popularity.
Melody Club's musical style can be characterized as a fusion of synthpop and glam rock. Their single "Fever Fever" was featured on the soundtrack of the football video game "FIFA 08" by EA Sports. On April 22, 2009, they released their fifth and first self-produced album, "Goodbye to Romance."
In 2010, drummer Andy A left the group in protest against their participation in Melodifestivalen 2011. He was subsequently replaced by the original drummer, Richard Ankers. Melody Club participated in Melodifestivalen 2011, the Swedish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest that year. They competed in the fourth semi-final on February 26, 2011, performing the song "The Hunter" at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, where they finished in 7th place.

Melody Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but it must have been something more
and i know i have to break away
i've got to break away
and every now and then it's hard to see
what kind of future lies ahead of me
i just know i have to break away
and every day goes by
i see the world passing me by
while dreaming out of my window
i have to let it go
and the wind is blowing high
it's getting stronger every day
and i'm dreaming out of my window
i really don't know what i'm doing here
i've never ever been anywhere
and i'm not going to waste another day
i'm going to break away
i can't remember what i came here for
but it must have been something more
i just know i've have to break away
i've got to break away
