=== 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".
