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.
I Can't Get You Off My Mind
Miss Li Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get you, get you off my mind
I'm hanging 'round the phone
waiting for a call
I would it give my all just to hear you say hello!
but honey...
I can't get you, get you off my mind
I can't get you, get you off my mind
I clean the house a thousand times
Just to get my mind on something else
I Go drinking with the girls
To quit thinking about you
but honey...
I cant' get you, get you off my mind
And I can't get you, get you off my mind
And I can't get you, get you off my mind
I cant' get you, get you off my mind
ohh no, noo
I don't know what to do
You're everywhere I turn
and everywhere I go
But I'll try to cut you out of my life
Just as you cut me out of yours
oh oh uh uh
I can't get you, get you off my mind
I can't get you, get you off my mind
I can't get you, get you off my mind
I can't get you, get you off my mind
Miss Li's song "I Can't Get You Off My Mind" is a poignant song about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The singer reveals that she cannot stop thinking about someone who she desires but cannot have. The chorus repeats the line “I can't get you, get you off my mind,” emphasizing her desperation to forget about the person she desires. The first verse shows her waiting by the phone, hoping for a call, and longing to hear the person's voice. The second verse highlights her attempt to distract herself from the thought of this person by cleaning the house or going out with her friends. Despite her efforts, the person she wants still consumes all her thoughts.
The bridge indicates that the singer is struggling to move on from this unrequited love. She sees reminders of the person she wants everywhere that she goes. Although she knows she must try to "cut the person out of her life," she is finding it difficult to forget about them. The lyrics suggest that the object of the singer's desire has already cut the singer out of their life, adding to her pain.
Overall, "I Can't Get You Off My Mind" is a moving song about the heartbreak of unrequited love. It touches on how difficult it is to forget about someone you desire deeply.

진짜진짜 음악선정 잘 하신 듯.. 영화보에서 이 ost나오고 I can't get you get you off my mind 이 부분 반복되고 볼륨이 점점 커지면서 몰입감까지 절로 커졌습니다. 영화보고 ost까지 따로 찾아 들은 적은 별로 없었는데, 오랜만에 괜찮은 한국영화 보고 좋은 음악까지 알게 된 듯하네요

First heard her from a TV Series, I don’t remember which one but I still can’t get it off my mind (no pun intended)
This lady is so good. All her songs belong in a movie or something 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks to my me
