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" ("Summer that never says no") performed by the group Malta. To avoid being confused with the nation of Malta, who did not participate in that year's contest, they changed their name to "The Nova" (with their backing group The Dolls) for the contest. The song was translated into English with the title "You're Summer".

The song's lyrics were written by Lars Forsell, and it was composed by Monica and Carl-Axel Dominique.
