Their journey began in early 2015 when Sjowgren uploaded a collection of self-recorded, guitar-based songs that were subsequently released as the Demos EP in June of that year. Shortly after, they unveiled their summery single "Seventeen," featuring a fully-realized band arrangement. The song gained significant attention after being featured in a commercial for an online marketplace in early 2016. "Seventeen" garnered millions of streams and attracted the interest of New York City label 300 Entertainment, distributed by Atlantic Records. The label officially released the track for digital download in mid-2016.
Sjowgren continued their musical endeavors with the single "Now & Then," which achieved success on streaming charts in early 2017. In 2018, the band returned with two stand-alone tracks, "Beginners" and "Better Off." They resurfaced in 2020, independently releasing the EP win'20.
Although Sjowgren's name may evoke a Scandinavian influence and their sound could be reminiscent of Nordic pop, the trio's indie pop style incorporates a retro-soul edge, primarily characterized by the unaffected alto vocals of their lead vocalist.
As a musical project, Sjowgren places a greater emphasis on creativity rather than pursuing widespread fame. They release their content through their own label, Long Time Friend Discount, and prefer to remain primarily behind the scenes, focusing on songwriting, production, and artistic direction.

The lyrics of "Seventeen" by sjowgren are about a relationship in which the singer knows that they cannot be everything to their partner, but they are willing to give all the love and support they can. The opening lines "I know I can't, I can't be everything, all in one, just the one for you" convey this sentiment. The reference to "puzzle pieces" in the second verse suggests that the two partners complement each other and fit together well.
The chorus repeats the message that the singer is there for their partner, willing to give them "a second to breathe" and all the love they need. The lines "I'm not in a hurry, not going nowhere" emphasize the singer's commitment and stability, and the repetition of the phrase "oh, don't worry" conveys reassurance.
The final verse seems to offer advice to anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. The lines "Life can deal some crazy things, don't worry, don't you worry, we'll find it" suggest that the key to overcoming difficulties is to have faith and to support each other.
Overall, "Seventeen" is a song about the importance of being there for the people we care about, even if we can't fix all their problems or be everything they need.
