Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "The Worrying Kind", written by Ola Salo, and performed by The Ark. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Television (SVT), selected its entry through Melodifestivalen 2007.

Before Eurovision

Melodifestivalen 2007

Main article: Melodifestivalen 2007

Sveriges Television (SVT) selected its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 through Melodifestivalen 2007, which consisted of four heats on 3, 10, 17, and 24 February; a second chance round on 3 March; and the final which took place on 10 March. The method of selection remained the same as previous years with four heats consisting of eight songs each, with the two top-placing entries securing spots for the final and the 3rd and 4th place entries earning spots in the Second Chance round. The Second Chance round was live this year with competitors going up against each other for the last two spots in the final, facing off in a bracket-based tournament. All six shows were hosted by Kristian Luuk.

Some familiar faces returned to Melodifestivalen this year, among them past Swedish representatives Tommy Nilsson (1989), Svante Thuresson (1966), Jessica Andersson (2003 as a member of Fame), and Nanne Grönvall (1996). In addition, Andreas Lundstedt represented Switzerland in 2006 as a member of six4one.

Final

SVT held the final on 10 March 2007 at the Globe Arena in Stockholm. The winner was chosen by 11 regional juries (50%) and televoting (50%).
