In March 2006, Maggio released her debut single "Dumpa mig" (Dump Me); the video for the single soon became the hit of the week on TV stations like ZTV. Her other single after "Dumpa mig" was the song "Nöjd?" (Satisfied?). She signed a contract with Universal Music and went on a tour in Summer 2006. Maggio's debut album was titled Vatten & bröd (Water and Bread). The lyrics and music were written by Stefan Gräslund, except for the rap verse in "Vi har, vi har (feat. LKM)" (We Have, We Have), which was written by LKM Kristoffer Malmsten.
On March 26, 2008, Maggio released her second album – Och vinnaren är... (And the Winner Is...), which she wrote and recorded together with Oskar Linnros. In 2009 she enjoyed success in Norway and Denmark with her single "Måndagsbarn " (Monday child) reaching 1st position at the Norwegian charts, as well as being A-listed on the Norwegian radio station NRK P3, and the album Och vinnaren är... broke into the top 40 albums list. The single "17 år" (17 years) also achieved considerable success, earning a gold certification in Sweden.
In February 2011, Maggio released "Jag kommer" (I'm coming) as the lead single from her third studio album, Satan i gatan. The song topped the singles chart in Sweden, spending 68 weeks on the chart. It was later certified 7x platinum, earning over 85 million streams on Spotify. Upon the album's release on April 27, 2011, it became her first Swedish number one album and the best-selling album of 2011. Furthermore, every track debuted within the top 30 of the singles chart, including 5 top 10 hits. It has since been amongst the best-selling albums of every year since, most recently at number 9 in 2021. As of 2022, the album has over 415 million combined streams on Spotify. "Välkommen in" (Welcome In) was selected as the album's second single, peaking at number 2 and reaching over 65 million streams on Spotify to date. Despite never being released as singles, "Satan i gatan" and "Snälla bli min" (Please Be Mine) have both spent over 30 weeks on the Swedish singles chart and earned over 50 million streams on Spotify each.
The follow-up to Satan i gatan came in the form of Handen i fickan fast jag bryr mig in 2013. It was another huge success, become one of the longest charting albums ever in Sweden with 378 weeks on chart, or over 7 years. It produced the hit singles "Hela huset" (The Whole House) and "Sergels torg" which both reached the top 10 of the Swedish single chart. All of the album's 11 tracks earned positions in the top 40.
Since 2013, Veronica Maggio has released the number one albums Den första är alltid gratis (The First One is Always Free) and Fiender är tråkigt (Enemies is Boring). These contained the top 10 hits "Vi mot världen" (Us Against the World), "Kurt Cobain", "Tillfälligheter" (Coincidences) and "5 minuter" (5 Minutes). 2019 was a particularly successful year, with "Tillfälligheter" becoming the 13th biggest song of 2019, "Hornstullsstrand" reaching number one and Fiender är tråkigt racking up over 140 weeks on the albums chart.

Snälla bli min
Veronica Maggio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snälla ge mig två sekunder innan du ger upp
Kan vi inte vara nära bara en minut?
Är det nu, nu som det tar slut?
Fast du inte lyssnar vet jag att du hör ändå
Jag vill hinna säga allting innan jag ska gå
Älskling, vänta får jag bara sitta bredvid dig?
Det var han som ville kyssa mig
Snälla bli min igen
Nej, låt det va som i en film
Snälla bli min igen
Låt mig va kvar
Ja, låt det va
Du tar bort min hand ifrån din arm och flyttar bort
Ingenting jag säger spelar längre någon roll
Ställer mig i hallen tills jag fattar vad som hänt
Får jag ens ha kvar dig som min vän?
Knyter mina skor och går tillbaka in igen
Sitter här på sängen tills du ber mig att gå hem
Letar efter något att säga som kan ändra allt
Något mer än det jag redan sagt
Snälla bli min igen
Nej, låt det va som i en film
Snälla bli min igen
Låt mig va kvar
Ja, låt det va
The lyrics to Veronica Maggio's song "Snälla bli min" capture the feeling of desperation and frustration that comes with trying to communicate with someone who seems to have already given up on the relationship. The singer is struggling to get through to their partner, who is avoiding eye contact and seems unwilling to engage in conversation. Despite this, the singer continues to plead for just a few moments of closeness, hoping that it's not too late to salvage their connection.
As the song continues, we see the singer growing increasingly isolated and uncertain. Their attempts to reach out are met with rejection, and they are left questioning whether they will even be able to remain friends with their partner after all is said and done. The lyrics reveal the complexities of relationships and the conflicting emotions that can arise when they start to unravel.
Overall, "Snälla bli min" is a poignant and relatable exploration of the anguish that comes with the end of a relationship. While the lyrics paint a somber picture, Veronica Maggio's beautiful vocals and the song's haunting melody create a sense of hopefulness that suggests that even when things fall apart, we can still hold onto the memories and feelings that brought us together in the first place.

Hello! I'm a swedish person and since I saw a lot of english in these comments, here is a translation of the lyrics to english :) The lyrics are such a pig part of why this song is so beautiful so i just had to share it.
I can't talk with you when you look away
Please give me two seconds before you give up
Can't we be close just for a minute
Is it now, now that it ends?
Though you don't listen i know that you still hear
I wanna be able to say everything before i have to leave
Love, wait, can I just sit next to you?
It was him who wanted to kiss me
Please be mine again
No, let it be like in a movie
Please be mine again
Let me stay, yes, let it be
You take away my hand from your arm and move away
Nothing that I say makes any difference anymore
I stand in the hallway until I realize what's happened
Can I even keep you as my friend?
I tie my shoes and go back in again
And I sit here on the bed until you ask me to go home
I search for something to say that will change everything
Something that still hasn't been said
Please be mine again
No, let it be like in a movie
Please be mine again
Let me stay, yes, let it be

This is an absolutely beautiful song. This is the kind of music we need in America.

Such a beautiful song, I can't wait the day I'll have the possibility to learn this language. It seems so hard, especially the pronounciation. As a French person, it seems like one of the hardest parts.
