"Undo" is a song by Swedish singer Sanna Nielsen. The track was written and composed by Fredrik Kempe, David Kreuger, Hamed "K-One" Pirouzpanah. It premiered on 8 February 2014, as part of the second semi-final in Melodifestivalen 2014. The song successfully progressed to the final.[1] The single was officially released on 23 February 2014, part of the EP of the same title.[2] Undo is an uptempo ballad.[1]

On 8 March, the song won the Melodifestivalen 2014 final beating Ace Wilder's "Busy Doin' Nothin'" by only two points and represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in the first semifinal on 6 May.[3][4]

In the final, on 10 May 2014, after the results came through, "Undo" finished the contest in 3rd place with 218 points. With this score, "Undo" became the second highest scoring Swedish entry at Eurovision after Euphoria.

"Undo" won the OGAE vote with 354 winning the voting after all countries had voted.

"Undo" was sung by Lucia Wu, a Chinese singer from Brazil on Season 1 of Sing! China in 2016.[5] This led to the song charting on streaming platforms in China in October 2016.

A high-energy pop-funk-fusion cover of this song was arranged by the Swedish trio Dirty Loops and performed at the 2015 Swedish Melody Festival, in keeping with the Festival tradition of an artist performing a cover of the last year's Festival.
