[4] By the time of the composition deadline on 1 February 1969, Lyngstad had 200 entries, which she reduced down to 31, but ultimately chose "Härlig är vår jord", hoping it would do well.

[4][6] Lyngstad recorded "Härlig är vår jord" at EMI Studios, Stockholm in two takes on 21 December 1968 alongside a schlager song, "Räkna de lyckliga stunderna blott" with Ivan Renlidens Orkester.

[4] On 4 March 1969, the Hep Stars attended an after-show of the Charlie Norman Show with Lyngstad for dinner, including Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.

[8] The first release by EMI Records' imprint Columbia initially had "Räkna de lyckliga stunderna blott" as the A-side, while "Härlig är vår jord" on the B-side with a plain sleeve before being withdrawn.

[3] Lyngstad and Ollie Bergman went to West Germany to pursue the possibility of marketing a German language version of "Härlig Är Vår Jord", but the single was ultimately not recorded.
