Sweden chose their entry for Eurovision Song Contest 1973 in the national final Melodifestivalen 1973. One of the competitors was a group of four who, later in the year, would become ABBA, but they only finished 3rd with their own entry. Instead, the winner was the song "Sommaren som aldrig säger nej" performed by the group Malta.

The song was translated into English with the title "You're Summer".
