Singer Anneli Magnusson from Västerås, Sweden studied to make it to the university. She was asked to record some demos she’d been singing in a small studio in her hometown. These demos ended up at EMI Sweden’s office. In the autumn of 1993 she signed a contract with the record company and released "Trust Me" under the nama Pandora. She was 23-years old.[1]

Critical reception[]

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet stated that the song "is certainly an irresistible hit".[2] Billboard described it as a "upbeat and direct" track.[3] Music & Media commented that "out of the Swedish box of Pandora rolls a pop/dance song as direct and catchy as Sabrina's Boys (Summertime Love). Oh Boy, a hit!"[4]
