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 ↴
tip finger lips
she makes melodies divine
makes me look like bad design
(and she said)
I want to be like you
cool and soft, not ordinary
colourful and temporary
oh, then suddenly she stopped the clock
and when she touched my hand
she gave me colours
cool, bright colours
her pretty face
face pretty her
she makes melodies divine
makes me look like bad design
The lyrics of Melody Club's song "Colours" are a beautiful expression of attraction and admiration for someone who possesses qualities that the singer feels they lack. The first few lines describe the physical actions of a woman the singer is clearly drawn to, almost frenetically so. She is described as having the power to create divinely beautiful melodies, a talent which the singer compares unfavorably to his own perceived lack of talent. The use of the phrase "bad design" implies that the singer feels that he has been created imperfectly somehow, whereas the woman he admires seems to be effortlessly beautiful and talented.
The chorus of the song is composed of the woman's wishes - she wants to be like the singer, cool and soft, not just ordinary. She sees something colorful and temporary in him, something that seems to be lacking from her own life. These lyrics reveal the nature of their relationship to be one of admiration and inspiration. The singer is a source of inspiration and creative energy for the woman, while she inspires him with her beauty and unique style.
The final lines of the song describe the effect that this woman has on the singer. She has "stopped the clock" in his life, meaning that she has had a transformative effect on his perception of time, delaying or even halting the progression of time as he experiences the colors and beauty of life through her. Touching his hand, she gave him "cool, bright colors," suggesting that her touch has a magical, uplifting effect on him that fills his life with vibrant, lively colors.
