Following the disbandment of the latter group, she signed a recording contract as a solo artist with EMI Svenska, who released "Ännu doftar kärlek" as the lead single from her debut studio album, Het vind (1984).

[1][2] The track was written by Fredriksson, the sole credited lyricist, and its music was composed by Fredriksson alongside record producer Lars-Göran "Lasse" Lindbom; he had previously produced several albums by pop rock band Gyllene Tider, whose lead vocalist, Per Gessle, co-wrote the b-side for "Ännu doftar kärlek"—"Tag detta hjärta" ("Take This Heart").

[7] On 8 June 2013, Fredriksson performed the song live in the Royal Chapel of Stockholm, during the wedding ceremony of Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O'Neill.

[15] Finnish vocalist Marisa released "Jos Yhä Sydän Tuntee" ("If You've Ever Known How It Feels to Have a Heart") – a translated version of "Ännu doftar kärlek" – as a double A-side with her original composition "Tanssi Kanssani" ("Dance with Me").

[17] Erik Linder, a semi-finalist in the 2009 series of Sweden's Got Talent, recorded versions of both "Ännu doftar kärlek" and Fredriksson's 1996 single "Tro" for his 2009 album Inifrån.
