Lucky Twice was a Swedish pop duo composed of Hannah Reynold (born July 18, 1991) and Emelie Schytz (born October 28, 1991). Their music was released under the Family Tree Music label in Sweden.
History
The group's first single, "Lucky", debuted in Spain on July 20, 2006 via Vale Music, where it climbed to the top position on the singles chart and achieved double platinum status. Their album Young & Clever was issued in June 2007, followed by the single "Hop Non Stop" on July 23.
"Lucky" also secured chart positions across several countries: number 5 in Denmark, number 8 in France, number 17 in Finland, number 41 in Germany, number 42 in Austria, and number 43 in Sweden. Although the song received video rotation, media coverage, and a live appearance at G-A-Y in London, its UK CD single launch was ultimately cancelled due to complications with their record company. Nevertheless, the track developed a dedicated fanbase within UK nightlife venues.
Originally, Lucky Twice consisted of Hannah Reynold alongside Sofie Larsson. In 2007, Larsson departed to establish the band Twisters with her brother and was succeeded by Emelie Schytz. The duo re-recorded earlier tracks featuring Schytz and worked on new material. A reissued edition of Young & Clever, initially released only in Spain with Larsson, was slated for distribution in Poland and Asian markets during 2008, supported by promotional tours.
A second album was planned to be introduced with the single "Love Song" in 2009; however, conflicts between the members and their label led to cancellation of this release.
Lucky Twice disbanded at the beginning of 2010. Subsequently, an unfinished demo version and later a complete music video for "Love Song" surfaced online. After the original video was taken down, Schytz uploaded it to her YouTube channel as a gesture to fans.
By 2015, the version of Young & Clever featuring Schytz became available digitally worldwide.

Unreleased
- The single "Love Song" was intended as the lead release from Lucky Twice's sophomore album in 2009 and marked Emelie Schytz's debut with the group. Despite sharing behind-the-scenes footage on MySpace and coverage by Scandipop, the launch was postponed indefinitely. In 2010, a censored version of its music video leaked online labeled as a "banned video," followed by a partial audio leak from an unofficial source. Around the time of the group's breakup announcement, Schytz uploaded the full high-resolution video for fans' access.
