The A*Teens were just as surprised by their 2024 reunion as fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never, ever thought that we would ever get back together again,\u201d Marie Serneholt<\/strong> exclusively tells Us Weekly<\/em> in a new interview. \u201cAnd then when we did that, we never, ever thought we would release more music again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast-forward two years, and the pop group is in the midst of a full-on comeback, with their first single in more than two decades, \u201cIconic,\u201d hitting No. 1 in their native Sweden last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, my God. I can\u2019t believe we get to do this!’\u201d Sara Lumholdt<\/strong> marvels of their second chance at fame. \u201cWe are appreciative because we do have regular lives, we have families, we live across the world. We get to get together and bring some magic and feel proud of what we\u2019re doing again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMamma mia! The A*Teens made quite an impression on pop music during their short-lived run. After joining forces as an ABBA tribute band in 1998, Marie Serneholt, Dhani Lennevald, Sara Lumholdt and Amit Sebastian Paul\u00a0released their debut album, The ABBA Generation, in August 1999 in their native Sweden and May 2000 in the U.S. It [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Serneholt, 42, Lumholdt, 41, Dhani Lennevald<\/strong> and Amit Paul<\/strong> founded the A*Teens as an ABBA tribute band in 1998. They started releasing original music, including hit singles \u201cUpside Down\u201d and \u201cFloorfiller,\u201d by 2000 but split in 2004.<\/p>\n

Then, in 2023, Serneholt decided to reach out to her former bandmates with a dinner invitation to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their formation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was more about getting together just on a personal level and reconnecting,\u201d Lennevald, 41, explains to Us<\/em>, \u201cbut then everything came [together] piece by piece, and it was kind of like a seed was planted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within a matter of weeks, the A*Teens found themselves back on stage at the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen, where they performed a medley of their old songs<\/a> \u2014 while Lumholdt was eight months pregnant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really glad to hear that we were in the first week [of Melodifestivalen 2024] because I couldn\u2019t have gone longer,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI was quite emotional, to be honest, but it was a very, very cool thing to have done because I look back at it, and I see the performance, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Wow, that is [my son] Henry there.’\u201d<\/p>\n
