Sweden returned to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2009, after missing the 2008 Contest. TV4 held an internal selection to select the Swedish entry, which competed at the Contest on 21 November. The TV4 jury selected Mimmi Sandén to compete for Sweden, with the song "Du" (You).
TV4 announced their return to the Contest on 9 June 2009.[1] Despite Junior Eurovision Song Contest rules that say "To select its contestant, each participating broadcaster shall organize a televised national selection," TV4 opted for an internal selection process being granted exception from the rule by the Steering Group of the contest. The broadcaster invited children from around Sweden between 10 and 15 to enter songs into the selection, up to 3 August. Afterwards a jury made up of representatives of Warner Music and TV4, headed by Bert Karlsson, selected the winner who would represent Sweden at the contest.[2] Karlsson said that he hoped that the Contest would help build a career for the chosen artist, comparing to other artists who began at a young age, such as Carola and Lotta Engberg.[3]
TV4 revealed that they had selected Mimmi Sandén to represent Sweden at Kyiv. She is the sister of Molly and Frida Sandén, who both represented Sweden at Junior Eurovision, in 2006 and 2007 respectively, and came second on TV4's Talang 2007, the Swedish version of the Got Talent series. She sang "Du" (You) at the contest, which was written by Mimmi, Alexander Kronlund and Ali Payami, and was first presented on 27 September on TV4's Bingolotto.[4][5]
