[edit] BackgroundIn late 2009, as part of the Swedish television program Made in Sweden, the show's judges tried to reunite the Swedish pop group Play which had been largely inactive since 2004. Three members from the original group were due to take part: Fanny Hamlin, Anaïs Lameche and Rosanna Munter, but Rosanna dropped out two weeks prior to filming. After a search for a third member, Sanne Karlsson, a demo recorder for one of their songs, was chosen. She joined the band and the cameras followed the group throughout the four episode program in their journey to get back in shape for the music industry. By the last episode of the show on February 11, 2010, "Famous", the show's theme song, was announced as the group's first single since 2004.[4]
