Malin and Veronica met each other in singing school in 1994 and have been best friends ever since. However, they didn’t start working together until the year 2000, when Nina who sang together with Veronica on the first album, wanted to have a solo career, and Malin joined Smile.dk. They celebrated their biggest success in Asia and have achieved superstar status through selling a whole amount of records.

Veronica and Nina first formed their band as Smile and published their first album Smile in 1998. It received wide attention, especially in Japan. Several songs in this album were included in EMI Dancemania compilations, of which one of the songs, "Butterfly", was eventually licensed by Konami into the first version of Dance Dance Revolution. Since then, Butterfly has become one of the most popular songs in Dance Dance Revolution's history.

Smile manages to create many moods and scenarios through their music. Ranging from up-tempo to tender sensitive ballads, and of course the tracks are bound together by the beautiful voices of Malin and Veronica.

Veronica started singing and dancing at the very young age of five. Her first international release was in Japan 1995 with the Swedish group” Look Twice”. She was the lead singer of the band, accompanied by two male rappers – “Vinny” and “Crazy G”. She stayed a part of the band “Look Twice” until the year 1997. Today Veronica lives outside of Malmö. She’s married and in 2004 she became a mom.

Malin started singing and dancing when she was 5 years old. As she got older, Malin performed as a background singer for many popular Swedish musicians. One of her characteristics is her smile. Today Malin lives in Stockholm and she also became a mom in 2005.

This project was brought to life by Robert Uhlmann and Robin Rex. (Robert & Robin had worked together for about a year when they decided to try a new pop project which later turned out to be called Smile .dk). In 1997 they spent the whole summer writing lyrics. The songs then were presented to different record companies in Denmark. Later they signed a contract with EMI.

In 2008, Smile.dk went through some major changes. Signed to a new record label, new producers, and a new band member were just some of the changes.

Due to personal matters, Malin had to leave the group. After the departure, Veronica asked a fellow recording partner, Hanna, to join her in the studio. Hanna is now the newest, and youngest member of Smile.dk. Now Veronica and Hanna are back with Smile.dk producing new music that fans are sure to love! Along with the announcement of returning to the music world, Smile.dk also announced plans several US performances. The future has a lot in store for this duo, so stay tuned!

I always thought that I could make it on my own
So I ended up a heart without a home
And I was nothing but a lover on the run
Til I found you

All the places
All the faces
Each and every day

My heart was hungry
And you seemed so far away

And I was nothing
But a lover on the run
Till I found you

'Cause I've been
Round the world and back again
But now I know
Many miles I've traveled to your heart
Waited for so long and now I can't let go
Guess I should have known from the start

Spend so many days
Trying to find a sign
How was I to know
I had it all the time
I'll no longer be a lover on the run
'Cause I found you

'Cause I've been
'Round the world and back again
But now I know
Many miles I've traveled to your heart
Waited for so long and now I can't let go
Guess I should have known from the start

Always thought that I could make it on my own
So I ended up a heart without a home
Been around the world
And now I know
I've traveled to your heart
Waited for so long
And now I can't let go

'Cause I've been round the world
And back again
But now I know
Many miles I've traveled to your heart
Waited for so long
And now I can't let go
Guess I should have known
'Cause I've been
'Round the world and back again
But now I know
Many miles I've traveled to your heart
Waited for so long

And now I can't let go
Guess I should have known from the start

Line by Line Meaning

I always thought that I could make it on my own
I had confidence in myself to succeed without anyone's help

So I ended up a heart without a home
But my self-reliance left me feeling lost and alone

And I was nothing but a lover on the run
I was a hopeless romantic in search of something real

Til I found you
But then I met you

All the places
I've been to many different locations

All the faces
I've encountered countless people

Each and every day
Every single day of my life

My heart was hungry
I was longing for something more

And you seemed so far away
But finding you felt impossible

And I was nothing
I had nothing to offer, no purpose

But a lover on the run
Except for my desire for love and connection
