He began his professional career at eighteen, collaborating with Viktoria Tolstoy and Svante Thuresson.

He wrote a song with Andreas Carlsson, who encouraged him to write lyrics in addition to music. As a songwriter Öberg has collaborated with Melanie Fontana and Ludwig Göransson. He has written and produced pop music for the Swedish, American, and Japanese markets.
In 2015 Shinee's album, Odd (including "Romance", co-written by Öberg), topped the Korean Gaon album chart for two consecutive weeks and the Billboard World Albums chart at the end of May 2015.[2]
