Excellence was a Swedish female pop ensemble established in 2001 via the television show Popstars broadcast on Kanal 5. The group attained notable commercial achievements, including a number one album on the Swedish charts, five singles reaching the top 10, and competing in Melodifestivalen 2002.
They teamed up with Markoolio to produce the official Swedish anthem for the 2002 Winter Olympics, titled "Vi ska vinna!". Their last single, "We Can Dance," secured a position within the top 10 before the group dissolved. Following the disbandment, member Ana Johnsson earned global acclaim with her solo track "We Are," featured on the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack, and she released her sophomore album Little Angel in October 2006.
