Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 with the song "You're Summer", composed by Monica Dominique and Carl-Axel Dominique, with lyrics by Lars Forssell, and performed by Nova and the Dolls. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR), selected its entry through Melodifestivalen 1973.

The winner of Melodifestivalen was the song "Sommaren som aldrig säger nej" performed by the group Malta. To avoid being confused with the country of Malta, who did not participate in that year's contest, they changed their name to "The Nova" (with their backing group The Dolls) for the contest. The song was translated into English with the title "You're Summer" for Eurovision. Another of the competitors of Melodifestivalen was a group of four who, later in the year, would become ABBA, but they only finished 3rd with "Ring Ring".
