## History

The band formed in 1998. Sundström and Löfgren were discovered by Vasco & Millboy at a karaoke bar in Stockholm around late 1998.  They would go on to release 2 full albums, Gott Och Blandat and Supergott, as well as 7 singles before disbanding.

The group disbanded in 2002 not long after their last single, Allra Bästa Vänner, released. In an interview with MuseLed, Sundström states that she left because she no longer wanted to make the style of music that Caramell had been making. There's been no information on why the other members left.

Years after the group disbanded, around 2007, Caramelldansen would explode on the internet as a meme, especially in Japan, with the song now sped up thanks to the artist known as Speedycake. Around the beginning of 2008, Remixed Records, along side Japanese record company QUAKE (currently known as Exit Tunes), began campaigns to market the Caramelldansen meme. The **Caramella Girls** were then created to be the western mascots of this Caramelldansen campaign, and would eventually lead into the Caramella Girls becoming a new band, independent of Caramell, by 2011.

The albums Supergott (Speedy Mixes), as well as the the Exit Tunes albums, Uu-Uu-Uma-Uma(゜∀゜) and Uu-Uu-Uma-Uma(゜∀゜) SPEED Album, were released under Caramell's name after their disbandment. Remixed Records would also release the EPs for Caramelldansen (Speedy Mixes), Caramelldancing, Caramelltanzen, and Caramelldansen (Christmas Version) under Caramell's name. All of the aforementioned EPs, as well as Supergott (Speedy Mixes) were eventually rebranded to list the Caramella Girls as the album artist. This changed occured sometime between 2019 and 2020.
