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.

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!

Underneath the moon, love will set us free
I can feel your heartbeat, baby, all the time
It echoes like a koto playing in my mind
I want you near me each and every day
With you I know our love will always find a way
You give me butterflies, you can be my samurai
So glad to be your lady
Could it be forever true, all I think about is you
Doki doki, follow me, it′s enchanting like a dream
Forever and a night, baby, you and me
Doki doki, we will be, when your heart beats next to me
Underneath the moon, love will set us free
Wa ooh wa ah oh oh
When we walk together and you're by my side
I know that I am yours and baby, you are mine
I get so excited ′bout the things you say
Feeling like I am the luckiest girl today
When I see you smiling, baby
You give me butterflies, you can be my samurai
So glad to be your lady
