Robyn

Robyn's US breakthrough came in late 1997, when the [[dance-pop]]/[[contemporary R&B|R&B]] singles "[[Show Me Love (Robyn song)|Show Me Love]]" and "[[Do You Know (What It Takes)]]" reached the top 10 of the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. She performed "Show Me Love" on the American children's show ''[[All That]]'' that year. She also made two appearances on ''[[Soul Train]]'': on October 4, 1997, performing "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Just Another Girlfriend",{{cite web |title=Soul Train - Season 27, Episode 2 |url=https://thetvdb.com/series/soul-train/episodes/268370 |website=TheTVDB |access-date=February 21, 2026}} and returned as the headlining act on April 25, 1998, performing "Do You Know (What It Takes)" again as well as the QDIII remix of "[[Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)]]".{{cite web |title=Soul Train - Season 27, Episode 24 |url=https://thetvdb.com/series/soul-train/episodes/268392 |website=TheTVDB |access-date=February 21, 2026}} The songs also performed well in the UK. Robyn re-released "Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)" internationally, but it was less successful than the other releases. It was ineligible for the US charts because there was no retail single available, but it reached number 32 on the [[Hot 100 Airplay]] chart. "Show Me Love" was featured in the 1998 [[Lukas Moodysson]] film, ''[[Fucking Åmål]]'', and the song's title was used as the title of the film in [[English language|English-speaking]] countries. As Robyn's popularity grew internationally, she was diagnosed with [[Fatigue (medical)|exhaustion]] and returned to Sweden to recover.

Robyn's second album, ''[[My Truth]]'', was released in Sweden in May 1999 and subsequently in Europe. The single, "[[Electric (Robyn song)|Electric]]", was a commercial success and propelled ''My Truth'' to the number-two position in Sweden. The autobiographical album included the tracks "Universal Woman" and "Giving You Back". Despite her US success with ''[[Robyn Is Here]]'', ''My Truth'' was not released in that country, partly because it included two songs which referenced an abortion she had in her teens.{{cite magazine |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=DxUEAAAAMBAJ&q=robyn+billboard+2000&pg=PA95 |title= Sweden's Robyn Returns With Zomba/Jive Deal|first= Chuck|last= taylor|magazine= Billboard|date= 21 July 2001|access-date=2 July 2016}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/arts/music/robyn-honey-interview.html|title=How Robyn, Pop's Glittery Rebel, Danced Her Way Back From Darkness|last=Ganz|first=Caryn|date=21 September 2018|work=The New York Times|access-date=24 May 2019|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/may/31/robyn-and-royksopp-do-it-again|title=Röyskopp and Robyn: 'We decided, let's not be afraid of being pretentious'|last=Hutchinson|first=Kate|date=31 May 2014|work=The Guardian|access-date=24 May 2019|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} Robyn contributed to [[Christian Falk]]'s 1999 debut solo album, ''Quel Bordel'' (''What a Mess''), appearing on "Remember" and "Celebration".
