On 3 September 1967, after Lyngstad won a talent contest with a prize of record contract with EMI, she appeared on the television series "Hylands hörna".

The Swedish division of EMI assigned her to the record label His Master's Voice and released her debut single "En ledig dag"; the song did not chart.

Between 1985 and 1991, she relegated her career to being a guest singer, notably with "Så länge vi har varann" by Swedish pop group Ratata.

A follow-up album to the earlier was planned but was shelved, partly due to her daughter Ann Lise-Lotte Casper's death from complications from automobile accident the following year.

Since the late 1990s, Lyngstad sporadically recorded several guest singles featuring artists such as Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord and jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.
