How does it feel to be part of the national selection with the song "I Can't Go On"?
Robin: It feels great! It's a super catchy tune and think people will like it!Who had the idea that you could participate again in the Swedish national selection and who decided "I Can't Go On"?
Robin: I don't know who decided but I think me and my whole team wanted to do it all over again the day after final last year haha:)What is the message of "I Can't Go On" and what kind of style will it be?
Robin: Actually, it doesn't come with that much of a message. It's playful, i little sexy maybe and just a fun song to sing. It's funky and up-tempo!Can you tell us something about the beginning of your career?
Robin: I started playing the flute when I was 7, then trumpet when I was 8, then guitar and then started singing, and here I am now:)What are you expecting in the national selection “Melodifestivalen”, are you excited?
Robin: I'm super excited and can't wait till people can listen to my new song!!You already have been part of Melodifestivalen 2016 with “Constellation Prize”. Do you think it’s an advantage that you already have been part of this competition before?
How do you prepare yourself for the show?Robin: I think the answer would be yes and no. Last year people wasn't expecting that much, so it came as a surprise to people that my song was great. This they will be expecting more, and maybe an even better song than last year. But at the same time, I have more experience now and know exactly how much it takes to get through to the final. Hopefully I can make it:)
Robin: I'm rehearsing a lot at the moment. Last few days I'll prepare with a lot of sleep, healthy food and some more rehearsing.Are you a Eurovision fan and have you been at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm?
