Frida Green and Eva Rydberg & Ewa Roos will compete again in the second chance 'Andra Chansen' round on 6 March.

Finishing in fifth place was singer, songwriter and record producer Patrik Jean, one of the writers behind last year’s winning entry by The Mamas.

Also leaving the competition are 25-year-old singer songwriter Julia Alfrida who was given a wildcard to compete after participating in the 2020 P4 Nästa competition and WAHL feat. SAMI, a newly formed duo made up of Christopher Vahlberg (Wahl) and Sami Rekik (SAMI). The two were previously part of other Swedish rap groups SödraSidan and Medina.
