Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 with the song "Bra vibrationer", composed by Lasse Holm, with lyrics by Ingela Forsman, and performed by Kikki Danielsson. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Television (SVT), selected its entry through Melodifestivalen 1985. In addition, SVT was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, after winning the previous edition with the song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" by Herreys.
In order to save money for the staging of the Eurovision Song Contest itself, Melodifestivalen1985 was a reduced version of the competition. Of the ten entries, five went through to a second round, which was won by the song "Bra vibrationer", written by Lasse Holm and Ingela "Pling" Forsman and sung by Kikki Danielsson. Kikki had already represented Sweden three years earlier, as part of the pop group Chips. The other half, Elisabeth Andreassen, went to win for Norway, alongside the group Bobbysocks.
