A total of five entries participated in the final of the nationwide music competition for songwriters, artists and new music arranged by Swedish Radio.

The winner Tiffany Lorentz grew up in Jönköping but moved to Stockholm a few years ago to invest in music.

2017 came the debut single.

- I am so grateful, she said in P4 immediately after the win.

All 25 P4 channels participate in the music competition.

Once the local winners have been selected, a jury will select eight entries that will go on to a national final in Västerås on 26 August.
