Sweden chose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in the national selection Melodifestivalen 2003. Just like the year before, four heats and a "second chance" round with eight songs in each were held. 2 from each went to the final. The winner was chosen by 11 regional juries (50%) and televoting (50%) were Fame consisting of Jessica Andersson and Magnus Bäcklund. Their song, written by Calle Kindbom and Carl Lösnitz, was called "Give Me Your Love", and was a typical schlager–disco song.
