Robyn voiced the character of [[Miranda (The Tempest)|Miranda]] in the 1989 Swedish-Norwegian [[animated film]] ''[[The Journey to Melonia]]''. Directed by [[Per Åhlin]], the film is loosely based on [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[The Tempest]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/resan-till-melonia-the-journey-to-melonia/ | title=Resan till Melonia (The Journey to Melonia) (1989) | publisher=Fandango | access-date=15 July 2016}}</ref>

Robyn recorded ''"Du kan alltid bli nummer ett"'' ("You Can Always be Number One"), the theme song for the Swedish television show ''Lilla Sportspegeln'', in 1991 at age 12.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/musik/rockbjornen/article19023372.ab |title=Robyn flydde till Norge och gjorde nya skivan|work=Aftonbladet |date= 9 June 2014|access-date=2 July 2016 | language = sv|trans-title=Robyn flew to Norway and made a new album}}</ref> Robyn performed her first original song{{Which|date=March 2011}} at that age on another television show, ''[[Söndagsöppet]]'' (''Sundays''). She was discovered by Swedish pop singer [[Meja]] in the early 1990s when Meja and her band, [[Legacy of Sound (Swedish group)|Legacy of Sound]], visited Robyn's school as part of a musical workshop. Impressed by Robyn's performance, Meja contacted her management and a meeting was arranged with Robyn and her parents. At age 14, after completing middle school education in 1993, Robyn signed with Ricochet Records Sweden<ref name=July97Billboard>{{cite magazine |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=qA4EAAAAMBAJ&q=billboard+july+19+1997+robyn&pg=PA22 |title= Hit Singles Catapult Colvyn, Robyn|first= Chuck|last= Taylor|magazine= Billboard|date= 19 July 1997|access-date=2 July 2016}}</ref> (which was acquired by [[Bertelsmann Music Group|BMG]] in 1994).<ref name=Nov97Billboard>{{cite magazine |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=7QkEAAAAMBAJ&q=robyn+signs+RCA+1994&pg=PA103 |title= RCA Looks Beyond Top 40 Base for Sweden's Robyn|first= Carrie|last= bell|magazine= Billboard|date= 8 November 1997|access-date=2 July 2016}}</ref> Robyn collaborated with producers [[Max Martin]] and [[Denniz Pop]], who gave the singer a gritty (but popular) sound.

=== 1994–2004: ''Robyn Is Here'', ''My Truth'' and ''Don't Stop the Music'' ===
She began her pop-music career at age 15, signing with [[RCA Records]] in 1994 and releasing her debut single ("[[You've Got That Somethin']]{{-"}}) in Sweden. Later that year, Robyn's Swedish breakthrough came with the single "[[Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)]]". The singles became part of the album ''[[Robyn Is Here]]'', which was released in October 1995. Robyn also contributed vocals to Blacknuss' 1996 single, "Roll with Me." She entered Sweden's pre-selection for the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1997]] as co-writer and producer of "[[Du gör mig hel igen]]" ("You Make Me Whole Again"), which was performed by [[Cajsalisa Ejemyr]]. In [[Melodifestivalen 1997]], the song finished fourth.

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, and 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.<ref>{{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}}</ref><ref>{{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}}</ref><ref>{{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}}</ref> Robyn contributed to [[Christian Falk]]'s 1999 debut solo album, ''Quel Bordel'' (''What a Mess''), appearing on "Remember" and "Celebration". The following year, she appeared on "Intro/Fristil" on [[Petter (rapper)|Petter]]'s self-titled album. In 2001, Robyn performed "Say You'll Walk the Distance" for the soundtrack of ''[[On the Line (2001 film)|On the Line]]''.

She signed a worldwide deal with [[Jive Records]] in July 2001, moving from [[Bertelsmann Music Group|BMG]]<ref>{{cite magazine |url= https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/79115/robyn-signs-worldwide-deal-with-jive |title=Robyn Signs Worldwide Deal With Jive|magazine=Billboard |date= 15 July 2001|access-date=2 July 2016}}</ref> after the singer was "disillusioned with the lack of artistic control [she] had there";<ref name=Reliant /> a year later, Jive was acquired by BMG when it bought [[Zomba Records]].<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/12/business/bmg-to-buy-rest-of-zomba-the-home-of-pop-stars.html |title=BMG to Buy Rest of Zomba, The Home Of Pop Stars|first= Laura|last= Holson|work=The New York Times |date= 2 June 2002 |issn=0362-4331 |access-date=2 July 2016}}</ref> Robyn later said, "I was back where I started!"<ref name=Reliant>{{cite web |url= http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/259/reliant_robyn/ |title=Reliant Robyn|first= Pete|last= Lewis|work=bluesandsoul.com |access-date=2 July 2016}}</ref> In October 2002, she released the album ''[[Don't Stop the Music (Robyn album)|Don't Stop the Music]]'' in Sweden. The album's singles, "[[Keep This Fire Burning]]" and "[[Don't Stop the Music (Robyn song)|Don't Stop the Music]]", received airplay in Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe. The title track was later covered by the Swedish girl group [[Play (band)|Play]], and the lead single ("Keep This Fire Burning") was covered by the British soul singer [[Beverley Knight]]. In May 2004, ''Robyn's Best'' was released in the US. It was a condensed version of her debut album, with no material from her later releases. In 2006, after her departure from BMG, ''Det Bästa Med Robyn'' (''The Best of Robyn'') was released in Sweden with material from her first three albums; notable omissions, however, were the singles "Don't Stop the Music" and "Keep This Fire Burning".

=== 2004–2009: Konichiwa Records and ''Robyn'' ===
The decade-long relationship between Robyn and her label ended in 2004. When Jive Records reacted negatively to "[[Who's That Girl (Robyn song)|Who's That Girl?]]{{"'}}s new [[electropop]] sound, the singer decided to release music on her own. In early 2005, she announced that she was leaving Jive to start her own label.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.timeout.com/newyork/music/swede-relief|title=Swede Relief |last=Vincentelli  |first=Elisabeth |work=Time Out |location=New York |date=30 January – 5 February 2008|access-date=21 February 2018}}</ref> [[Konichiwa Records]] was created to liberate Robyn artistically. She said on her website that her new album would be released earlier than anticipated, with notable collaborators including [[Klas Åhlund]] from [[Teddybears STHLM]], Swedish duo [[The Knife]] and former [[Cheiron Studios]] producer [[Alexander Kronlund]].

[[File:Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2008 Robyn (Robin Miriam Carlsson).jpg|thumb|left|upright|alt=Robyn onstage in a short black dress|Performing at the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize concert]]
Robyn released the single "[[Be Mine! (Robyn song)|Be Mine!]]" in March 2005. Her fourth album, ''[[Robyn (album)|Robyn]]'', was her first number-one album in Sweden when it was released a month later. Influenced by electronica, rap, R&B and [[new-age music]], ''Robyn'' was critically praised and earned the singer three 2006 Swedish Grammy Awards: "Årets Album" (Best Album), "Årets Kompositör" (Best Writer, with Klas Åhlund) and "Årets Pop Kvinnlig" (Best Pop Female). The album evoked global interest in Robyn, who was recognized for co-writing the song "Money for Nothing" for [[Darin Zanyar]] (his debut single). She released three more singles—"Who's That Girl?", "[[Handle Me]]" and "[[Crash and Burn Girl]]"—from the eponymous LP, which was popular in Sweden. Robyn appeared on the [[Basement Jaxx]] track "[[Hey U]]" from their 2006 album, ''[[Crazy Itch Radio]]'', and contributed "[[Dream On (Christian Falk song)|Dream On]]" and "C.C.C" to [[Christian Falk]]'s ''People Say'' (his second album) that year. In December 2006, Robyn released ''[[The Rakamonie EP]]'' in the UK as a preview of her more-recent material; this was followed by the March 2007 release of "[[Konichiwa Bitches]]". A revised edition of ''Robyn'' was released in the UK the following month, with two new tracks—"[[With Every Heartbeat]]" (a collaboration with [[Kleerup]]) and "[[Cobrastyle]]" (a cover of a 2006 single by Swedish rockers [[Teddybears (band)|Teddybears]])—with slightly altered versions of the original music.

The second single from the release in the United Kingdom was "With Every Heartbeat" with [[Kleerup]], which was released in late July 2007 and topped the [[UK Singles Chart]], becoming the second single by Swedish artists to top the charts in Britain during the 2000s decade after [[Eric Prydz]]'s "[[Call on Me (Eric Prydz song)|Call on Me]]" in September and October 2004. Robyn appeared on [[Jo Whiley]]'s [[BBC Radio 1]] showcase show, ''[[Live Lounge]]''. In Australia, where ''Robyn'' reached the top ten of the [[iTunes Store]]'s album chart, "With Every Heartbeat" received attention on radio and video networks. Robyn contributed vocals to [[Fleshquartet]]'s single, "This One's for You", from their ''Voices of Eden'' album that year. Konichiwa Records signed an international licensing deal with [[Universal Music Group]] to distribute Robyn's music globally, and her UK recordings are released by [[Island Records]]. ''The Rakamonie EP'' was released in January 2008 by [[Cherrytree Records]] (a subsidiary of [[Interscope Records]]), and the US version of ''Robyn'' was released in April of that year. "With Every Heartbeat", "Handle Me" and "Cobrastyle" were top-10 club singles, and "With Every Heartbeat" received airplay on US pop and dance radio stations. Robyn provided backing vocals on [[Britney Spears]]' 2007 single, "[[Piece of Me (Britney Spears song)|Piece of Me]]", and appeared on the Fyre Department remix of "[[Sexual Eruption]]" by rapper [[Snoop Dogg]]. She made a brief US tour to promote ''Robyn'', and was the supporting act for [[Madonna]]'s [[Sticky & Sweet Tour]] on European dates in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.madonna.com/news/title/robyn-to-support-madonnas-sticky-and-sweet-tour |title=Robyn To Support Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour |website=Madonna.com |access-date=28 May 2014}}</ref> In January 2009, Robyn received a 2008 Swedish [[Grammis]] Award for Best Live Act.<ref>{{cite web |first=Anna |last=Lindström |url=http://www.expressen.se/noje/musik/1.1424764/robyn-ett-pris-som-manga-vill-ha |title=Robyn årets liveakt – tackade Madonna |work=Expressen |access-date=3 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614125230/http://www.expressen.se/noje/musik/1.1424764/robyn-ett-pris-som-manga-vill-ha |archive-date=14 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
