Her musical style is a mix of jazz, cabaret and blues. In high school she was in a metal band called Nobody and later on also called LiviaGray

Her first record Late Night Heartbroken Blues was recorded and released late 2006 and spawned the singles Oh Boy and High On You. The sophomore album God Put A Rainbow In the Sky was released just months later in May 2007, the lead single from the album was the song I'm Sorry, He's Mine - a song about how she stole her best friend's boyfriend just because she wanted him over the night.

She continued to release new albums in record speed when her new album Songs of A Rag Doll was released October 19th 2007 and she had now released three albums within a year. She told Swedish Groove magazine that vacation for her meant going into the studio. The album came with the single Gotta Leave My Troubles Behind which had some success on the Swedish "tracks" charts where the people of Sweden vote for their favorite songs each week.

In 2007 she was also featured on the famous Swedish artist Lars Winnerbäcks lead single Om Du Lämnade Mig Nu from his album Daugava. The single became a huge hit and was #1 on the track charts as well as the singles charts and lead to national recognition for Miss Li. In 2008 she released the compilation album Best of 061122-071122 which included her best songs from the past three albums and some unreleased material including the song Good Morning.

In the summer of 2008 she sang the song Oh Boy on the popular Sing-A-Long show Allsång På Skansen that has over a million viewers every week. This lead to the single becoming far more popular than it was at its first release and it went to #8 on the Swedish singles charts.

After an uncharacteristically lengthy break, she released her 4th album Dancing the Whole Way Home in March 2009.

Hard Loved Man
Miss Li Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was waiting for you
Like two hours or something like that
But I got tired of standing there
Looking like a fool

Our relationship
Is so pathetic
But you don't seem to get it

So lets quit this shit

You're a hard loved man
And I'm an easy woman
You're a hard loved man
And I'm just a simple girl

As I stood there waiting
I realized I don't want it like this
So I decided to leave you
And all the hard loved things you do

Baby since that very day
You haven't crossed my mind
Like a thousand times per day
Only like nine hundred and ninety-nine

You're a hard loved man
And I'm an easy woman, yeah
You're a hardloved man
And I'm just a simple girl

I'm just a simple girl
I'm just a simple woman
Come on

You're a hard loved man
And I'm just a simple girl
You're a hard loved man
And I'm just an easy woman

You're a fine looking man
And I'm just an ugly one, yeah
You're a lovely man
I can't take this any longer

You're a hard loved man
And I'm an easy woman

You're a hard loved man
And I'm just a simple girl

Overall Meaning

The song "Hard Loved Man" by Miss Li seems to be about a woman who is tired of being taken for granted by a man who is emotionally unavailable. The first few lines of the song suggest that the woman has been waiting for the man, but he is not showing up, so she decides to leave. She then begins to reflect on their relationship and realizes it is "pathetic", but the man does not seem to understand this. The song goes on to imply that the woman is no longer interested in the man and is beginning to move on from the relationship.

The main theme of the song seems to be that the woman wants to be loved in a more straightforward way, whereas the man is more "hard loved". It is not clear what this means, but it could imply that the man is emotionally distant or hard to connect with. The woman, on the other hand, is described as being "easy" and "simple", which may suggest that she wants a more basic, uncomplicated kind of love.

Overall, the song captures the frustration and disappointment of a woman who is not getting what she wants from a relationship. It is also a statement about the different ways that people approach love and how this can lead to misunderstandings and conflict.
