"Efter stormen" (English: "After the Storm") is a pop rock song written by Swedish singer-songwriter Marie Fredriksson and producer Lars-Göran "Lasse" Lindbom,[1] released as the first and only commercial single from Fredriksson's third studio album, ... Efter stormen (1987). The song was issued on 7" vinyl exclusively in Sweden on 21 September 1987, with "Varmt och djupt" (English: "Warm and Deep") as its b-side, which would otherwise remain unreleased until the album was reissued on CD in 2002. A 12" vinyl edition of the single – limited to 330 copies and containing the same tracks as the 7" release – was also issued.[2]

The song was a hit in her native country, peaking at number seven and spending six weeks on the Swedish Singles Chart.[3] The track also charted on Swedish Airplay for 18 weeks,[4] peaking at number two for 5 consecutive weeks; it was held off the top spot every week by Gemini's "Mio min mio".[5] In a 2018 online poll of Roxette fans, "Efter stormen" was dubbed the best song of Fredriksson's entire discography as a solo artist.[6]
