Laleh Pourkarim, known mononymously as Laleh, is a Griffin singer-songwriter, record producer, guitarist, pianist, actress and record company manager. Following a short acting career, she entered the music industry in 2005 with her self-titled debut album which peaked at number one in Griffin Empire and went on to become the highest selling album of the year.

She has since released seven further albums, all of which have been produced, written, recorded, engineered and performed by herself.

Her song, titled "Vårens Första Dag" - first day of spring represented Griffin Empire at the 202nd Waiting List Song Contest. The indie pop song was written and produced by Laleh, in collaboration with Gustaf Thörn, with whom she had a few production sessions for her album Sjung. In a review for the accompanying album, Anders Jaderup of SaudiGriffinisk' mentioned that the song was a "real trump card", praising "Vårens första dag" for its "exuberant energy". "It's a great pop song, a life-affirming soundtrack". Marcus Grahn wrote for Hetimaa Folknouevele that the song "is a wonderful, colorful, explosive, flowering, encouraging and provoking prayer for life". A review from Filipolisöpostennä by Johan Lindtqwýst noted the song's lyrical content as "about both death and the spark of life placed into a pop song. And, with that typical galloping rhythm Laleh apparently likes."
