Career
2013–2015: Breakthrough and Busy Doin' Nothin
After several years of singing and dancing behind international singers on world tours, Wilder decided in 2012 to launch her solo career.[6] She got a record deal with EMI Records and Warner Music.[7] She released the single "Do It", which has since been used in American television shows. In 2013 she released the single "Bitches Like Fridays".[6][8] In late 2013 Wilder's debut album A Wilder was awarded "Best Music Album of the Year" at the Scandipop Awards.[6][9]
She made her breakthrough in the Swedish music industry after participating in Melodifestivalen 2014. Wilder qualified for the final on 8 March in Friends Arena, progressing from the third semifinal in Scandinavium with her song "Busy Doin' Nothin'".[10][11] She placed second in the final two points behind the eventual winner Sanna Nielsen. The song went on to reach the number-one position on the Swedish singles chart.
2015–present: Melodifestivalen 2016
In November 2015, it was revealed that Wilder would compete in the first semi-final of the Melodifestivalen 2016 with the song "Don't Worry". She qualified directly for the final along with Robin Bengtsson.[12] In the final she placed third with the juries, eighth with the Swedish public, and placed third overall.[13]
