History

Lillasyster (meaning Little Sister) was formed as Rallypack in 2004, by former LOK members Martin Westerstrand (lead vocals) and Daniel Cordero (bass). After a while, Rallypack changed the name to Lillasyster. In February 2007 their first single "Berätta det för Lina" ("Tell It to Lina" in English) was released and in May 2007 they released their first album. They are also known for their cover versions of R&B star Rihanna's "Umbrella" the same year (2007) and Katy Perry's "Roar" (2014) which became successful.The style of Lillasyster's music is very similar to LOK's music.

They participated in Melodifestivalen 2021 with the song "Pretender", qualifying to the second chance round on 6 February 2021. They performed again on 6 March 2021 but failed to progress to the final.

They returned to Melodifestivalen the following year, entering the 2022 edition with the song "Till Our Days Are Over". They performed on 26 February 2022, finishing fourth in the first round and progressing to the semi-final. They performed again on 5 March 2022 but finished fourth, failing to qualify to the final.
